Carnival Eyes
Gone away, someone else son's gone
What a day for dreaming
Hard hurt heart that holds the door
Buried in time in hallways bleeding
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
Who's that girl
Who likes to dance all day?
Beauty is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Any day, when soldiers come
Women pray, I lie here
There's a flame whose light still shines
Leading us on through fields and bridges
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
I've seen grasses grow
Through rock and stone
Nature is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
One man throwing questions to the stars
Is there anyone there?
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Carnival girl
Where do our lives come from?
She'll keep on dancing the night away
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
What a day for dreaming
Hard hurt heart that holds the door
Buried in time in hallways bleeding
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
Who's that girl
Who likes to dance all day?
Beauty is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Any day, when soldiers come
Women pray, I lie here
There's a flame whose light still shines
Leading us on through fields and bridges
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
I've seen grasses grow
Through rock and stone
Nature is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
One man throwing questions to the stars
Is there anyone there?
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Carnival girl
Where do our lives come from?
She'll keep on dancing the night away
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
