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 a lonely place

And the longing that was yours to bear
You bore it oh so well
Farewell Thumbelina, Thumbelina farewell.

Farewell Thumbelina, standing half-undressed
Beneath the 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 love something they sell
Farewell Thumbelina, Thumbelina farewell.

Now the circus is deserted where once you thrilled the crowds
They’ve packed away the tents, there is no audience
the spotlight’s been turned out
Many say you were a hero, many say you were a victim of fame
Nobody wants to see that you were just another one
on the losin’ end of a losin’ game

As for me, I’ll do my best
to keep your secret well
Farewell Thumbelina, Thumbelina farewell
