Carnival Lyrics - Singles - Denny Sandy

(Sandy Denny) 

The summertime's escaping 

And the carnival's away 

And the sunshine is awaiting 

For another sunny day 

Breakers whisper to the shells upon the shore 

And hear the seagulls they cry for more 

And hear the gulls they cry for more 

Good-day to you sweet autumn 

So gently you appear 

Why I never even realized 

Those rustic times were near 

The moment's changing from a dusty green to gold 

The summer fair she has grown old 

The summer fair she has grown old 

And away in the blue of the skies 

And over the trees 

How the carnival flies 

On the wings of a breeze 

You've had your time and now it's mine for me to go 

These colder days they move too slow 

These older days they move too slow 

So the summertime is leaving 

And the carnival's away 

So the sunshine is relieving us 

Of all our sunny days 

But I'll be waiting for to greet your fleeting calls 

So come back soon the carnival 

So come back soon the carnival 

Come back soon, come back soon (x4)
