JACAMO


Donna Fargo - 1981








They were famous on the trapeze
Everywhere the Circus played
He would catch her as she twirled
While below a dazzled world
Would guess about her fate


She knew he was a jealous lover
He thought she loved another man
No longer could he hold it in
She felt his rage begin
She saw too late what he had planned


As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Don't you know, Jacamo"


Panic swept across the moment
As it swept across the crowd
Her tears glistened in the light
As every word she cried
Fell unanswered to the ground


Though he wanted to believe her
A thousand doubts drove him mad
He slowly loosened up his grip
Her hands began to slip
Borrowed time was all she had


As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Don't you know, Jacamo"


When every second seemed a lifetime
When every prayer would not take kind
Suddenly his fingers tightened
His heart had changed its mind


High above the vast arena
When it appeared that she would die
He had looked upon her face
But instead of feeling hate
He saw love in her eyes
There was love in her eyes


As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Ooh-ooh, Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Ooo-ooh, Jacamo" ............ FADE
