Locked Away
guitar chords lyrics
I used to watch the circus come to town,
and queue up for the show.
I used to fool around and play the clown,
a long, long time ago.
Another suitcase with another story,
another letter in the hallway for me.
Another chance of never being there,
and then I met a girl with a curious stare
So I told you, and you told her,
how much I'd like to hold her.
And now I'm five years older
I wish I'd never told you,
I'd like to hold you,
but you keep me locked away,
locked away.
I'd like to hold you,
but you keep me locked away,
locked away.
I never thought of her as being like
a consolation prize,
It took some history and lots of mistakes
to open up my eyes.
And now a different girl is cutting up 'Mars bars'
a season ticket is replacing fast cars.
The curtain's up but the lights are down,
the curious stare has re-emerged as a frown.
So I told you, and you told her,
how much I'd like to hold her.
And now I'm five years older
I wish I'd never told you,
I'd like to hold you,
but you keep me locked away,
locked away.
A complication in the twilight zone,
the juggler fell down.
The staring girl is living on her own,
the other girl is happy living with her clown.
So I told you, and you told her,
how much I'd like to hold her.
And now I'm five years older,
I wish I'd never told you,
I'd like to hold you,
but you keep me locked away,
locked away.
