The Carnival is Empty Lyrics by Birch Book

Fortune & Folly (Volume II)

2006

[Verse 1]
Cross the lot, wave a hand
Dust off the loaded caravan
In the settled haze of morningfall
Mark the way, hark the call
[Refrain]
The tone is dry, the note is clear
The road is wide, the passage free
The carnival is empty
[Verse 2]
Lift a finger, lift a chin
Lift the corner of an eye
Floating falling into sight
Adrift, the paper butterfly
[Refrain]
Without aim, painted wings
Gather gust and flutter free
The carnival is empty
[Verse 3]
Waking has no worry then
Dreams have no sleep
A cage's edge has no name
Words have no speech
[Refrain]
The thought is gone, the face serene
The brow is clear, the mind is free
The carnival is empty
[Outro]
The carnival is empty
