The Night He Took Her To The Fairground Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Her glasses fell on the grass, they were reflected in the lens 

Though short-sighted, she knew that they could never be friends 

And as he pulled her down, she threw off his new, suede shoes 

He didn't carry protection and she'd just blown a fuse 

She laughed but it wasn't at him, she called him a crazy fool 

Well, she'd broken all of her promise and he'd broken her golden rule 

They kissed but their eyes were closed and she said ain't love blind 

Well, she put his scarf 'round her eyes but the attachment was just a bind 

The tunnel was out of love, the waltzer made no sound 

The ghost train was on fire, on fire and the merry go went round and round 

The roller coasted on as they went up and down 

It was the night that he took her to the fairground 

It was the night that he took her to the fairground 

She ran away so fast like water down a drain 

Well, they met and they tried to pretend that they were strangers on a train 

Well, she poisoned him with words, well, he tried to spit them out 

Well, he thought it was all absurd, you know that he had got no doubt 

You know she was bending him out of shape, well, just like plastic warps 

He was an actor in her play but he was just beginning to corpse 

They molded together well, her hand fit into his glove 

And they were making up this story while while they were making love 

Yeah, the tunnel was out of love, the waltzer made no sound 

The ghost train was on fire, on fire, and the merry go went round and round 

The roller coasted on and they went up and down 

It was the night that he took her to the fairground 

It was the night that he took her to the fairground
