A song about Wonder Valley California. (Near Joshua Tree National Park.) Miri Hunter and Thom Merrick (c) 2015

Circus of the Sun is a road song. It's literal. It's about driving east on Amboy Road, toward the Dale Gold Mine (the mother lode.) We pass the only bar, we do not stop there, which is strange, but "we have to change" we are avoiding gossip and gas-lit environments. We turn onto Hollywood Lane to visit a friend and never quite get to our destination. Are we looking for freedom? It's the reason we came here in the first place.

CIRCUS OF THE SUN Drivin’ down that road, passed the Mother lode It occurred to me God might be angry In my damaged car I just passed a bar Headed down the washboard trail, rollin’ somewhere dot-n-da-da-da.……I wanna be free dot-n-da-da-da.……Have a mercy on me dot-n-da-da-da…….’Cos livin’ ain’t easy In the afterglow I thought l’d drive real slow So I wouldn’t lose it all on Hollywood Lane I need to change, there’s no one left to blame Gaslit whispers played tricks on me dot-n-da-da-da.……I wanna be free dot-n-da-da-da.……Have mercy on me dot-n-da-da-da…….’Cos livin’ ain’t easy Everything it seems has all been a dream Good friends I’ve known, they’ve turned on me Although I’m not the sacred poet The desert found in me only a lover x

Song Comments a new beginning heard some magic here. a new beginning livin sure ain't easy
