Carnival

And the light and the sound come flooding around me
And the scene is a carnival show
Reds and greens, yellows and blues are
Flashing their colors at me

Carnival, carnival
Carry me away tonight
Carnival, carnival
You're with me 'til morning is light

Now the lights are going dim from the drinking I've done,
And the faces of people are strange,
"Hello" I said, to no one around me,
'Twas my reflection in a puddle on the ground

Carnival, carnival
Dance with me over this night
Carnival, carnival
You're my friend in the hours 'til light

I lost my best friend this year - she was my angel
And the scene was a carnival show
I didn't see it coming 'til she was on her way
But I miss her more than life right now

Carnival, carnival
Carry me away tonight
Carnival, carnival
Stay with me 'til morning is light

Carnival, carnival
Carry me away tonight
Carnival, carnival
Dance 'til my soul flies away
