lyrics

They pitched the big tent in the town pub's yard
The menagerie made it hard
For Hannah Twynnoy to serve patrons ale
His whispers called her to her final tale

In bloom of life, a child within
She was taken by the tiger's grin
Her pokes and prods of beast in cage
Would soon awake, would soon enrage

Restless with all that she possessed
She seeked the other
She seeked to twist and test
The circus tempted with exotic fare
And Hannah's longing finally could be dared

In bloom of life, a child within...

Try to seize the catch
Without risking to be snatched
By the jaws that can ensure your sweet demise
If you seek the tiger's gaze
You'll ensure your final stage
But you'll never suffer any compromise

Warned to stop her taunting, teasing way
But in the end the tiger had his say
A loosened bolt and all that fury raised
Would mean that Hannah's pain would
Be allayed

In bloom of life, a child within...
