Carnival Eyes (mapeye) Lyrics

Gone away

Someone else son's gone

What a day

For dreaming

Hard hurt heart

The 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 like 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
