I Stayed Too Long at the Fair

William C. Barnes

I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh mother dear I know you're very proud
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd

No daddy dear You never could have known
That I would be successful yet so very much alone
I wanted to live in a carnival city
With laughter and love everywhere

I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty
I wanted somebody to care
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue

The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me

Have I stayed too long at the fair?
