Carnival Song/Hi Lily Hi Lo — текст песни (Tim Buckley)

From Dream Letter Live In London 1968

If you`re ever in New York...(Is it a girl?)
If you`re ever in New York, there`s not very
Many carnivals going on
And that may not be much, but uh...
If you`re used to a carnival every once in a while
Then New York doesn`t have it
Then you gotta write a carnival song
But that don`t really make it either
`Cause what`s a song without a carnival?

The song of love is a sad song
For we have loved and it`s so
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show
Hi lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi lo

The circus comes once a year, Lily
Then we gotta go
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show
Come dancin`, dancin` dance a while
Come dancin`, dancin` dance a while
Come dancin`, dancin` dance a while with me

Me me me me me me me ...

More? see the people pass Lily
Don`t mind what they say
Go on and be happy Lily
They`ll just pass away
Hi lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi lo

Don`t let the Italian kids on your block make fun, Lily

(The) song of love is a sad song
We have loved and it`s so
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show

Hi lily hi lily
Hi lily lo
