Outside the storm clouds gathering Moved silently along the dusty boulevard Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks So they can in turn reach up and kiss the sky They're driven by a strange desire Unseen by the human eye Someone's calling I remember when you held my hand In the park we would play When the circus came to town Look over here Outside the circus gathering Moved silently along the rain-swept boulevard The procession moved on, the shouting is over The fabulous freaks are leaving town They're driven by a strange desire Unseen by the human eye Someone's calling The carnival is over We sat and watched As the moon rose For the very first time
