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 flour [Chorus] Across the world I wonder My moments made from years On a still and silent midway I wait for you to reappear Carnival, lull [me? or him?] to sleep No one can hear our voices I can tell your future and past By the light of the carousel horses [Chorus]
