A depressingly sad song about an entertainer who is out of business, when he once used to be a famous star of the show. But when they closed down the circus they ended his life, and now he only has old moments to cherish. He can only cry now when the only thing he knew to do, the thing that he was born into doing since he was a child was swept from him. The song serves as a reminder that all our dreams will someday end, and while it is sad and makes you cry, you should cherish the moments you have now while the good times last.
