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
