She gave it away
She gave away all her loveNo reason to keep itShe'd saved it for only oneBut he didn't need it
And downtown the midnight circusHypnotised like a spinning topOffering dreams, like the gloss magazinesShe had so much to give so she gave it away
And all of the loves you've knownThere must have been someoneWho gave you that starry nightLead you to the next oneAnd whose gonna point the fingerOnly those who never knownShe lost and she cried,The tears run dry.She had so much to give so she gave it away
Mary was like you and IShe remembers how she lay with himBut to the world she's just a drunken cheap trickRed light, side kick, an angel downtown
The priest calls her WednesdaysAnd shows her a wooden crossHe tells of the love he's foundShe thinks of the one she lost
And downtown the midnight circusHypnotised like a spinning topSo easy to chooseWhen there's nothing to loseShe had so much to give so she gave it away
