The Night The Carousel Burnt Down Lyrics

  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
