THUMBELINA FAREWELL | |
(words and music by Kyp Harness) | |
Farewell Thumbelina, | |
Your dream has come at last | |
It was all you ever wanted | |
Now it’s all you’ll ever have | |
Many loved your beauty | |
Many loved your grace | |
I loved you for the courage that you showed | |
In that lonely place | |
And the longing that was yours to bare | |
You bore it oh so well | |
Farewell Thumbelina | |
Thumbelina farewell | |
Farewell Thumbelina, | |
Standing half undressed | |
Beneath that yellow circus spotlight, | |
Before the hungry audience | |
You were surrounded by shadows | |
Each one battling for control | |
You fed upon their dark promises | |
They fed upon your soul | |
And you loved them like you’d love a lover | |
And they loved you | |
Like they’d love something to sell | |
Farewell Thumbelina | |
Thumbelina farewell | |
Now the circus is deserted | |
Where once you thrilled the crowd | |
They’ve packed away the tents | |
There is no audience | |
The spotlight’s been turned out | |
Now many say you were a hero | |
Many say you were the victim of fame | |
Nobody wants to say | |
You were just another one | |
On the losing end of a losing game | |
As for me I’ll do my best | |
To keep your secrets well | |
Farewell Thumbelina | |
Thumbelina farewell. |
