The Night The Carousel Burnt Down

Weren't you there when the carousel burned down The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound I swear you were there when the carousel burned down We were all around The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground And the heads hung down And we all left town the next day The children all cried when the carousel burned down The old ladies sighed and the carousel burned down The rest of us lied as the carousel burned down And the flames did fly The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye As the boiler died And they melted down the midway And we all left town the next day
