Carnival Girl Lyrics

Someone blew up the world of the carnival girl

Before she ever got hold of her heart

They dressed her in beads and mysterious deeds

Before they watched her fall apart

A cavernous haze set the sane world ablaze

While the crickets drilled into her mind

That she'll never be free until she takes time to see

The love that she left behind

Carnival Girl are you sleeping

Carnival Girl are you weeping

Carnival Girl are you keeping all of your love inside your mind

Carnival Girl are you lonely

Carnival Girl do you own me

Carnival Girl are you only hanging around so I won't leave you behind

Forty-three years and invisible peers

Traced a pattern on her quilt

Personal growth and sworn solemn oath

Watched her soak in the home she'd built

Decaying desire tried to dance in the choir

Until it found it couldn't sing a note

No chance to unwind with so much on her mind

Tying knots in a piece of rope

Step outside of yourself, says the man with the wealth

Perhaps you'll find a point of view

All the seeds that you sew need life for to grow

It's the easiest thing to do

Take hold of my hand and watch me strike up the band

As I sit here and thinking of you.

Yesterday's gone; I just heard the last song

And it's only quarter 'till two
