The Carnival Is Over Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Say goodbye, my own true lover 

As we sing a 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
