Bruce Springsteen - The Last Carnival lyrics

Sundown, sundown
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?

Sundown, sundown
The carnival train's leaving town
Where are you now my darling Billy?

We won't be dancing together on the high wire
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore
We won't be breathing the smoke in the fire
On a midway

Hanging from the trapeze
My wrists waiting for your wrists
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
You throwing the knife that lands
Inches from my heart sundown

Moon rise, moon rise
The light that was in your eyes is gone away
Daybreak, daybreak
The thing in you that made me
Ache has gone to stay

We'll be riding the train without you tonight
The train that keeps on moving
Its black smoke scorching the evening sky
A million stars shining above us like
Every soul living and dead
Has been gathered together by God
To sing a hymn over your bones

Sundown, sundown
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
