Ron Sexsmith Lyrics

"Thumbelina Farewell" lyrics


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
