The Last Carnival

Sundown, sundownThey're taking all the tents downWhere have you gone my handsome Billy?Sundown, sundownThe carnival train's leaving townWhere are you now darling Billy?We won't be dancing together on the high wireFacing the lions with you at my side anymoreWe won't be breathin' the smoke and the fireOn a midwayHanging from the trapezeMy wrists waiting for your wristsTwo daredevils high up on the wall of deathYou throwin' the knife that lands inches from my heartSundownMoonrise, moonriseThe light that was in your eyes has gone awayDaybreak, daybreakThe thing in you that made me ache has gone to stayWe'll be riding the train without you tonightThe train that keeps on movin'Its black smoke scorching the evening skyA millions stars shining above us like every soul livin' and deadHas been gathered together by a God to sing a hymn over your bonesSun down, sun downEmpty are the fairgroundsWhere are you now handsome Billy?
