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

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
