The Carnival Is Over

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 rain swept boulevard

The procession moved on the shouting is over

The fabulous freaks are leaving town

They are driven by a strange desire

Unseen by the human eye

Someone is calling

The carnival is over

We sat and watched

As the moon rose

For the very first time
