Carnival

Fairy lights and muslin drapes The eyes that see us are sleeping Bottle of whisky, bottle of wine Both from which we are drinking Dhalias in December Chrysanthemums in June In a town that can't remember From dusk to dawn, my love was gone Between the veil of darkness and light The sweet and sorrowful hours That separates morning and night I'll roll you in the flowers Across the world I wander 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 Across this world I wander My moments made from years On a still and silent midway I wait for you to reappear
