The Fairground

	作词 : McTell
	Standing alone in the fairground at night
	The world racing past on the streets
	Only the stars and the headlights of cars
	Light the fantasy world while it sleeps
	And I looked around but there wasn't a sound
	But the cinders under my feet.
	Candy-floss sticks spelt words on the ground
	I tried to read them in vain.
	Before it was clear the wind blew my hair
	And rephrased the sentence again.
	I stopped to light my last cigarette
	The fair was lit up in its glow
	I threw it away but the light seemed to stay
	Like 'twere moonlight shining on snow.
	And I hardly dare breathe
	I just couldn't believe
	Then the music started to flow.
	Slowly everything started to move
	'Cept me and I stood quite still.
	Then came a soft cry near the coconut shy
	Will you take me to ride on the wind.
	And around and around
	The big wheel went spinning
	Round and round until
	I noticed although the fairground was moving
	The rest of the world stopped still.
	It was then when I realised that I'd have to get off
	Although I would've much rather stayed.
	Then with a jolt the wheel came to a halt
	And the music started to fade.
	As the lights went dim my head started to spin
	Told myself that I wasn't to blame.
	Looked at the ground at the candy-floss sticks
	Now the message was plain
	Behind me the wheel and the fairground were still
	And outside it was moving again.
