Twilight Ferris Wheel

[good4somethingbum]

Twilight Ferris WheelTwilight ferris wheel, alone in that big fieldRed sunset upon your abandoned fairgroundsPainting shadows like the teardrops of a clownI have learned, life can turnLike you once did twilight ferris wheelTwilight ferris wheel, you’re not just wood and steelYou’re a circus scented summer memoryOf a girl who stole my tomorrows from meI have seen, love and dreamsRust just like you twilight ferris wheelIt was years ago when your future folded up its tentsBut you’ve waited on that tattered big top ever sinceI still drive out here and watch you in the evening mistWhere I see her moonlit curls and the mystery of our first kissTwilight ferris wheel, you’re like a movie reelI close my eyes and you spin the tale againYou know I’ll still beg her to stay at the endBut you know, she’ll still goSo I’ll be back twilight ferris wheelIt was years ago when your future folded up its tentsBut you’ve waited on that tattered big top ever sinceI still drive out here and watch you in the evening mistWhere I see her moonlit curls and the mystery of our first kiss©2008 Robert George
