The Fair Moved On next song/previous song (The picture is 'Carnival Evening' by Henri Rousseau - the inspiration for these lyrics.) Gone are the cars Gone the red horses Dark the bright pasture When the fair moved on Only the moon Shines down on the meadow It's all that remains now Since the fair moved on The leaves and the laughter Both fallen away How could I believe The fair would stay? Bicycle thieves And carnival barkers They had to keep roaming When the fair moved on Flags on the ground Balloons in the branches And only the shadows When the fair moved on The cold night of winter Gives way to the dawn I still don't believe The fair moved on Gone are the cars Gone the red horses Dark the bright pasture When the fair moved on ©2003 Dave Ellis & Boo Howard song index
