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's calling
 
 i remember when you held my hand
 in the park we would play
 when the circus came to town
 look over here
 ♪
 outside the circus gathering
 moved silently along the rain swept boulevard
 the procession moves on the shouting is over
 the fabulous freaks are leaving town
 they are driven by a strange desire
 ♪
 unseen by the human eye
 someone's calling
 ♪
 the carnival is over
 ♪
 we sat and watched
 as the moon rose
 for the very first time
