"The Carnival is Over"
performed by The Seekers
Written by Tom Pringfield
Recorded 9/17/65

Say goodbye, my own true lover
as we sing our lover's song.
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
now the carnival is gone.

High above, the dawn is waking
and my tears are falling rain,
for the carnival is over
we may never meet again.

Like a drum, my heart was beating,
and your kiss was sweet as wine.
But the joys of love are fleeting
for Pierrot and Columbine.

Now the harbor light is calling.
This will be our last goodbye.
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you 'till I die.

Like a drum, my heart was beating,
and your kiss was sweet as wine.
But the joys of love are fleeting
for Pierrot and Columbine.

Now the harbor light is calling.
This will be our last goodbye.
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you 'till I die.

Though the carnival is over,
I will love you 'till I die.

I got stumped on the Pierrot and Colimbine line, so I did a bit of searching and found the lyric on http://www.lyrics.ch/search.html
