Ron Sexsmith Thumbelina Farewell
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
