Lyrics

Day it is over, they’re locking the gates
To the fair that I cannot forget
The carousel’s stopped and the lights are turned out
the sound I can’t hear anymore

Forgotten the words to a song that it played
a bottle too much to regret
I think I’m much older but it’s still just the same
and the child just can’t play anymore

We’re wide as the ocean apart so wide apart

All the kings' horses and all of his men
Could not put this thing together again
All the kings' horses and all of his men
Have ridden away, won’t come back again

Does it make any sense when I throw you a line
does it make any sound when I say
I’ll cry to myself just to break up a spell
but I’m not sure I know what it is

Packing away all the things to explain
too late in the day to discuss
Looking for answers to questions not writ
so sure there’s no easy way

And I cry as I write this, cry at my song

All the kings' horses and all of his men
could not put this thing together again
All the kings' horses and all of his men
have ridden away, won’t come back again

All the kings' horses and all of his men
could not put this thing together again

And I cry as I write this
yes I cry as I write this
Oh I cry, cry cry as I write this
I cry cry cry as I write this

All the kings' horses and all of his men
could not put this thing together again
