Too Long At the Fair (The Secret Sessions) Songtext
von Katie Melua

Too long at the fair

Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I′ve been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won′t you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore


Well I went down to chason′s
Walked ′til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
′Til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I′ve been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well, you can give my soul to abraham
Give my soul to saul
Give my bones to canada
My feet they don′t hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride


The silver blade is gleamin′
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin′,
Don't you lose another man
Won′t you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can′t stand it anymore
