BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Last Carnival lyrics

rate me

<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>
