Song des Tages: The Carnival Is Over

(Dead Can Dance: "The Carnival Is Over", aus dem Album "Into The Labyrinth", 1993)

Outside the storm clouds gathering
Move silently along the dusty boulevard
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
So they can in turn reach up and kiss the sky

They're 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

Outside the circus gathering
Move silently along the rain swept boulevard
The procession moved on, the shouting is over
The fabulous freaks are leaving town

They're 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."
