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 and the fire
On the 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
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 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 a God to sing a hymn over your bones
Sundown, sundown
Empty are the fairgrounds
Where are you now, my handsome Billy?
