The Last Carnival
Your rating:
<BR> Sundown, sundown <br> They're taking all the tents down. <br> Where have you gone my handsome Billy? <br> <br> Sundown, sundown <br> The carnival train's leaving town. <br> Where are ya now my darlin' Billy? <br> <br> We won't be dancing together on the high wire <br> Facing the lines with you at my side, oh no. <br> We won't be breathing the smoke in the fire <br> On a midway. <br> Hanging from the trapeze, my wrists waiting for your wrists. <br> Two daredevils high upon the water's edge. <br> You throwing the knife that lands inches from my head. <br> Sundown. <br> <br> Moon rise, moon rise, the light that was in your eyes is gone away. <br> Daybreak, daybreak, the thing in you that made me ache has gone to stay <br> We'll be riding the train without you tonight <br> The train that keeps on moving <br> It's black smoke scorching the evening sky. <br> A million stars shining above us like every soul living and dead <br> Has been gathered together by God to sing a hymn <br> Over the old bones. <br> <br> Sundown, sundown. <br> They empty out the fairgrounds. <br> Where are you now my handsome Billy?<br> <BR><BR> <BR>
