Carnival is over
Words and music by Michael Seibt
Am D7 F Am
Rain is falling down on my paper-crown
Am D7 F C
The clown’s make-up is dry, his lips are formed to cry
Cmaj7 G H7 E7
The dancing crowd is gone back home, I’m standing here alone
Am D7 F Am A0-A2
Rain is falling down on my paper-crown
Refrain
C G C G
Carnival is over, the old king is gone
C G F Am A3-A2
The new one’s yet a’waiting, the show must go on
No-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps
Everyone will miss the music and the bliss
The troubadour is going mad under the fool’s cap
And no-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps
Refrain
At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool
His last silly joke is ended up in smoke
Blowers of the dutch brass band ‘re searching their instruments
At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool
Refrain
The rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown
I take all high spirits and bin it bit by bit
I cross myself, confess my sins before they day will begin
Rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown
Refrain
Outro: Am D7 F Am
