• The Last Carnival '09 (KH VidEO) +

Springsteen wrote this song about the death of Daniel Federici, his organ player and E-Street Band stalwart. He explained to the Observer Music Monthly January 2009: "It started out as a way of making sense of his passing. He was a part of that sound of the boardwalk the band grew up with and that's something that's going to be missing now." Federici died on April 17, 2008 having suffered for three years with Melanoma.

[Chorus]
Sundown, sundown
They're taking all the tents down.
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?

Sundown, sundown
The carnival train's leaving town
Where are ya now my darlin' Billy?

[Verse 1]
We won't be dancing together on the high wire
Facing the lines with you at my side, oh no
We won't be breathing the smoke in the fire
On a midway
Hanging from the trapeze, my wrists waiting for your wrists
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
You throwing the knife that lands inches from my heart
Sundown

[Verse 2]
Moon rise, moon rise, the light that was in your eyes is gone away
Daybreak, daybreak, the thing in you that made me ache has gone to stay
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
The train that keeps on moving
It's black smoke scorching the evening sky
A million stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
Has been gathered together by God to sing a hymn
Over your bones

[Chorus]
Sundown, sundown
They empty out the fairgrounds
Where are you now my handsome Billy?
