Kim Edwards The Show lyrics

What are you waiting for?
Turn off the lights and close the door
Were you expecting something more?
The show, the show is over
The curtain fell, were you surprised
To find my makeup was my disguise?
When did you finally realize
The show, show is over?
There's nothing more to see
Just a portrait of you
And a picture of me
There's nothing more to be
So let's pack up the tent and close
The show
We won't pretend it wasn't there
The lights and the crowds, the sounds of the fair
All the laughs we didn't share
And I knew the show was over

I watched you walk a high tight-rope
The net below, your only hope
And when you fell you said that it was a joke
But we knew the show was over
The time has come to board the train
The band has played its last refrain
Sawdust and memories are all that remain
Our show, our show is over
There's nothing more to see
Just a portrait of you
And a picture of me
That's all we'll ever be
So let's pack up the tent and close
The show
