Red roses fall
Out of the air
The broken vase
Beside the chair
Why is a stupid joke my best defense?
Well now the laughter hangs
Above the mess
Hold me tight in your memory
Hold me tight when I'm gone
Come on over next to me
Hold me tight for a song
It's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song
This carnival
Is leaving town
She threw the knives
Right at this clown
Hold me tight in your memory
Hold me tight when I'm gone
Come on over next to me
Hold me tight for a song
It's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song
The car door slams
The tires screech
And there you go
Just out of reach
Hold me tight in your memory
Hold me tight when I'm gone
Come on over next to me
Hold me tight for a song
It's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song, it's only a song
