Lyrics

[ti:the carnival is over]
[ar:dead can dance]
[01:15.903] Outside
[01:21.406] The storm clouds gathering,
[01:29.408] Moved silently along the dusty boulevard.
[01:42.284] Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
[01:55.36] So they can in turn
[01:58.159] Reach up and kiss the sky.
[02:06.535] They are driven by a strange desire
[02:19.387] Unseen by the human eye
[02:27.802] Someone is calling.
[02:38.804] I remember when you held my hand
[02:46.350] In the park we would play when the circus came to town.
[02:58.565] Look!Over here.
[03:25.602] Outside
[03:26.601] The circus gathering
[03:28.600] Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard.
[03:38.348] The procession moved on the shouting is over
[03:42.35] The fabulous freaks are leaving town.
[03:49.799] They are driven by a strange desire
[04:02.802] Unseen by the human eye.
[04:10.925] Someone is calling.
[04:36.415] The carinval is over.
[04:54.759] We sat and watched
[05:00.650] As the moon rose again
[05:10.836] For the very first time.
