von Bonnie Raitt

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Stayed Too Long at the Fair" von Bonnie Raitt handelt von jemandem, der sich zu lange an einem Ort aufgeha...

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
