Heaven knows a place within my heart
Things I should have told you
Before I fell apart

 [bad word] I got worries on my mind
And I just lie awake at night
Dreaming of you

Lord knows I'm a total failure
Drifting man on the sea
But my sinking ship was just made of paper, anyhow

And your sweet sympathy
Was all that I needed a place to be free
Yea, the love in your eyes
Was all that I needed to stop asking why

Yesterday your circus came to town
And I found myself singing
Singing with a crowd
So I joined the street parade
trooping cavalcade
and then I saw you

Lordy knows I'm a total failure
Drifting man on the sea
You came along just in time
And healed my mind
And all is forgiven

And your sweet sympathy
Was all that I needed a place to be free
Yea, the love in your eyes
Was all that I needed to stop asking why
