The Fairground-Ralph McTell

[00:00.000] 作词 : McTell [00:18.47]Standing alone in the fairground at night [00:22.87]The world racing past on the streets [00:27.24]Only the stars and the headlights of cars [00:31.42]Light the fantasy world while it sleeps [00:35.89]And I looked around but there wasn't a sound [00:40.23]But the cinders under my feet. [00:45.34]Candy-floss sticks spelt words on the ground [00:49.48]I tried to read them in vain. [00:54.06]Before it was clear the wind blew my hair [00:58.12]And rephrased the sentence again. [01:03.29]I stopped to light my last cigarette [01:07.21]The fair was lit up in its glow [01:11.96]I threw it away but the light seemed to stay [01:15.72]Like 'twere moonlight shining on snow. [01:19.97]And I hardly dare breathe [01:22.64]I just couldn't believe [01:24.94]Then the music started to flow. [01:30.47]Slowly everything started to move [01:33.93]'Cept me and I stood quite still. [01:38.94]Then came a soft cry near the coconut shy [01:42.65]Will you take me to ride on the wind. [01:50.95]And around and around [01:55.32]The big wheel went spinning [01:57.84]Round and round until [02:01.90]I noticed although the fairground was moving [02:05.93]The rest of the world stopped still. [02:11.05]It was then when I realised that I'd have to get off [02:15.41]Although I would've much rather stayed. [02:20.32]Then with a jolt the wheel came to a halt [02:24.18]And the music started to fade. [02:29.21]As the lights went dim my head started to spin [02:33.22]Told myself that I wasn't to blame. [03:04.15]Looked at the ground at the candy-floss sticks [03:08.34]Now the message was plain [03:12.89]Behind me the wheel and the fairground were still [03:17.13]And outside it was moving again. [03:23.62] [03:25.06]
