Townes Van Zandt - Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel

Townes Van Zandt

Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel

Well the drunken clown's still hanging 'round
But it plain the laughter's all died down
The tears you tried so hard to hide
Are flowin'

And a blind man with his knife in hand
Has convinced himself that he understands
I wish him well, Miss Carousel
But I gotta be a-goin'

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Well the lady's been told that all of gold
Is worth so much it can't be sold
No time to weep she'll need her sleep
Tomorrow

When she carries her face to the market place
And bets it on the opening race
She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel
But her singing brings me sorrow

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Well, it's always done every mother's son
Is shown that grown men never run
So they fight with all the might
Inside them

When the battle's been fought and they all been taught
That the trick is just not being caught
Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel
When they're begging you to hide them

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

When the need arose, your eyes fell closed
You clamped your fingers round your nose
Would you say that's any way
To judge him

Well, you haven't got the authority
To kill him in the first degree
But would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel
If you had something to begrudge him

On a velvet beach far beneath the reach
Of those that come to pray and preach
The natural man who tries to stand
Is fallin'

Well how long will it be before he sees
You own his legs but his mind is free
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel
How long will he be crawling?

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Oh, the castle wall has grown so tall
It seems there ain't no hope at all
To reach the top even though you stop
For breathin'

But I ain't gonna try to make you cry
The tear drops couldn't find your eyes
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel
But the time has come for leavin'

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
And proudly call your name

Mirror lyrics:

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

But the time has come for leavin'
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel
The tear drops couldn't find your eyes
But I ain't gonna try to make you cry

For breathin'
To reach the top even though you stop
It seems there ain't no hope at all
Oh, the castle wall has grown so tall

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

How long will he be crawling?
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel
You own his legs but his mind is free
Well how long will it be before he sees

Is fallin'
The natural man who tries to stand
Of those that come to pray and preach
On a velvet beach far beneath the reach

If you had something to begrudge him
But would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel
To kill him in the first degree
Well, you haven't got the authority

To judge him
Would you say that's any way
You clamped your fingers round your nose
When the need arose, your eyes fell closed

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

When they're begging you to hide them
Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel
That the trick is just not being caught
When the battle's been fought and they all been taught

Is shown that grown men never run
Well, it's always done every mother's son

And proudly call your name
I'll stand outside your window
You're sure that you don't need me then
Won't you come and get me when

And a blind man with his knife in hand

Are flowin'
The tears you tried so hard to hide
But it plain the laughter's all died down
Well the drunken clown's still hanging 'round
