Bruce Springsteen — The Last Carnival

[Chorus] Sundown, sundown They're taking all the tents down Where have you gone my handsome Billy? [Bridge] Sundown, sundown The carnival train's leaving town Where are you now my darling Billy? [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Sundown, sundown They're taking all the tents down Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
