Carnival

Fairy lights and muzzling drapes
The eyes that see us are sleeping
Bottle of whiskey
Bottle of wine, both from which we are drinking.
Dowley's in december
Chris and the bombs in june,
In this town I can remember from dust to dawn
My love was gone.
(Harmonica vibes)
Between the veil of darkness and light
The sweet and sorrow full hour.
That separates morning and night,
I row you in the flower.
Across the world I wander,
My moments made from years.

Only still inside midway
I'll wait for you to reappear.
(Harmonica vibes)
Carnival, lean into sleep
No one can hear our voices.
I can tell your future and past
By the light of the carrousel's horses.
Across this world, I wander
My moments made from years.
Only still inside mille way
I'll wait for you to reappear.
