Carnival - Shovels & Rope

Fairy lights and muslin drapes

The eyes that see us are sleeping

Bottle of whisky, 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 darkness and light

The sweet and sorrowful hour

That separates morning and night

I 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

Mmm

Carnival, lull into 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

Mmm
