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 that lonely place

And the longing that was yours to bare

You bore it oh so well

Farewell Thumbelina

Thumbelina farewell

Farewell Thumbelina,

Standing half undressed

Beneath that 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’d love something to sell

Farewell Thumbelina

Thumbelina farewell

Now the circus is deserted

Where once you thrilled the crowd

They’ve packed away the tents

There is no audience

The spotlight’s been turned out

Now many say you were a hero

Many say you were the victim of fame

Nobody wants to say

You were just another one

On the losing end of a losing game

As for me I’ll do my best

To keep your secrets well

Farewell Thumbelina

Thumbelina farewell.
