The Carnival Is Over - Dead Can Dance

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

Over here

Outside

The circus gathering

Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard

The procession moves on the shouting is over

The fabulous freaks are leaving town

They’re driven by a strange desire

Unseen by the human eye

The carinval is over

We sat and watched

As the moon rose again

For the very first time
