This song has been reviewed by Tate Swindel of Unrequited Record". The recording itself is minimalist, but is meant to invoke the feeling of a county fair during the evening.
Marc Maynon - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar and Piano.

This is the story of a girl dumping a dude who is pretty much a loser. She leaves him at a carnival. I found out later that this song is the response to Nora Jone's "Don't Know Why".

Failing she fought off the tears
As I watched the clowns crack open beers
Gaily they finished the day as we sat on the hay.
The carousel music played on
But she drowned out the words of the song
When she looked in my eyes and she told me
It all felt so wrong.
Then banners cam down from the stands
And she let go of my hands.
She stood up with the wind in her skirt
As popcorn bags littered the dirt
One got stuck on my shoe
I'd be damned if I could get it off.
She said that she'd still be my friend
As the carnys moved signs made of tin
And they shut down the magic
The music and lights ushered in.
Then she turned her face away,
I wondered if that meant goodbye,
The workers they all said goodnight.
Then she left me in the carnival light.
