In 1895 in a small town
He wears his best uniform
And goes to the fair
At the fair
Where the horse stand close together
She walks around to find his smile
The Ferris wheel turns.
Just make sure to get lost
Before the bears start dancing.
Make sure to get lost
Before...
In the night
The mellow lights
In love, steel, cheat, fight,
'Cause soon, they('ll) know,
The generals come
The soldier is off.
The trumpet sounds
The band plays
The waltz for the dead.
The sweet smell
Of watery grounds
Blows through the air.
The broken silence
And in the distance
The sound of cavalry coming.
Just make sure to get lost
Before the bears start dancing.
Make sure to get lost
Before...
The clapping doors
The wind, the wind
The old man in his rocking chair
"Be sure to smile,
When your love
Comes around".
Sing with me,
Dance with me
Share this last waltz
Before you're gone,
She says.
Make sure to get lost
Before the bears start dancing.
Make sure to get lost
Before...
