Sun down, sun down
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
Sun down, sun down
The carnival trains' leavin' town
Where are you now darlin' 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 the midway
Hangin' from the trapeze
My wrists waitin' for your wrists
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
You throwin' the knife that lands inches from my head
Sun down
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
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul livin' and dead
It's been gathered together by God
To sing a hymn over your bones
Sundown, sundown
Empty are the fairgrounds
Where are you now my handsome Billy?
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
Sun down, sun down
The carnival trains' leavin' town
Where are you now darlin' 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 the midway
Hangin' from the trapeze
My wrists waitin' for your wrists
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
You throwin' the knife that lands inches from my head
Sun down
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
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul livin' and dead
It's been gathered together by God
To sing a hymn over your bones
Sundown, sundown
Empty are the fairgrounds
Where are you now my handsome Billy?
