Carnival

Fairy lights and muslin drapes

The eyes that see us are sleeping

Bottle of whiskey, bottle of wine

Both from which we are drinking

Dahlias in December, Chrysanthemums in June

In a town that can't remember

From dusk to dawn, my love was gone

Between the veil of dusk and light

The sweet and sorrowful hour

That separates morning and night

I roll you in the flowers

[Chorus]

Across the world I wonder

My moments made from years

On a still and silent midway

I wait for you to reappear

Carnival, lulling to sleep

No one can hear our voices

I can tell your future and past

By the light of the carousel horses

[Chorus]
