miranda lambert - carousel (live from the 2023 acm awards) lyrics

[verse 1]
pretty elaina, my fair lady
she walked the high wire back in the 80’s
feathers and sequins, she shined like a chandelier
hanging from the top tent rafters ’til the spotlight disappeared

[verse 2]
harlan giovanni, what a sight to see
the way he earned her trust was on a twenty+foot trapeze
she fell so hard because he always let her fly
’til he left her heart suspended in a cotton candy sky
she still don’t know why

[chorus]
every show must end, every circus leaves town
you don’t know the magic’s gone until the lights go down
now she’s back in nacogdoches and i hear she’s doing well
she only misses harlan when she hears the carousel

[verse 3]
pretty elaina made herself a nest
her secrets and her sequins buried in her cedar chest
no one around here knows about her other life
johnny davis went and made her a mama and a wife
and maybe that’s alright
[chorus 1]
‘cause every show must end, every circus leaves town
you don’t know the magic’s gone until the lights go down
now she’s back in nacogdoches and i hear she’s doing well
she only misses harlan when she hears the carousel

[bridge]
smith county fair, mid+september
she walks the midway and smiles when she remembers

[chorus]
that every show must end, every circus leaves town
i didn’t know the magic left ’til all the lights went down
now i’m back in nacogdoches and i swear i’m doing well
i only miss my harlan when i hear a carousel
i only miss my harlan when i hear the carousel
