The Carnival Is Over (Remastered) Lyrics

Outside

 

The storm clouds gathering

 

Moved silently along the dusty boulevard

 

Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks

 

So they can in turn

Reach up and kiss the sky

They are driven by a strange desire

 

Unseen by the human eye

 

Someone is calling

 

I remember when you held my hand

 

In the park we would play when the circus came to town

Look Over here

 

Outside

 

The circus gathering

Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard

 

The procession moved on the shouting is over

The fabulous freaks are leaving town

 

The carnival is over

 

We sat and watched

 

As the moon rose

 

 

For the very first time
