The Comedians

m the style of Roy Orbison

I sat there alone
Upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage

In the air
I thought you'd leave me
Dangling for a little while
A silly twist

Upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whisp'ring
To another man
Who held the lever

That could bring me down
He'd stop the world
From turning
At your command

It's always something cruel
That laughter drowns
I should be
Drinking a toast
To absent friends

Instead of these comedians
I can hardly hear the music
From the carousel
The wind picks up

The carriage starts to sway
As one by one
The lights go out
It's closing time

I see you take his hand
And walk away
Walk away
They say that you will
Always be the last to know
They say that

All that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're
Never coming back to me
It's the bitter way

That I was told
I should be
Drinking a toast
To absent friends

Instead of these comedians
