She Gave It Away

She gave away all her love No reason to keep it She'd saved it for only one But he didn't need it And downtown the midnight circus Hypnotised like a spinning top Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines She had so much to give so she gave it away And all of the loves you've known There must have been someone Who gave you that starry night And whose gonna point the finger Only those who never known She lost and she cried, the tears run dry She had so much to give so she gave it away Mary was like you and I She remembers how she lay with him But to the world she's just a drunken cheap trick Red light side kick, an angel downtown The priest calls her Wednesdays And shows her a wooden cross He tells of the love he's found She thinks of the one she lost And downtown the midnight circus Hypnotised like a spinning top So easy to choose when there's nothing to lose She had so much to give so she gave it away --- She Gave It Away - Chris Rea
