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 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 breathin' the smoke and the fire. On a midway. Hanging from the trapeze. My wrists waiting for your wrists. Two daredevils high up on the wall of death. You throwin' the knife that lands inches from my heart. Sundown. Moonrise moonrise. The light that was in your eyes has 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 movin'. Its black smoke scorching the evening sky. A millions stars shining above us like every soul livin' and dead. Has been gathered together by a God to sing a hymn over your bones. Sun down sun down. Empty are the fairgrounds. Where are you now handsome Billy?
