The Carnival Is Over (Remastered)

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 skyThey are driven by a strange desire

Unseen by the human eye

Someone is callingI remember when you held my hand

In the park we would play

When the circus came to town

Over hereOutside, the circus gathering

Moved silently along the rain swept boulevard

The procession moved on the shouting is over

The fabulous freaks are leaving townThey are driven by a strange desire

Unseen by the human eye

Someone is callingThe carnival is overWe sat and watched

As the moon rose

For the very first time
