The Carnival Is Over The Seekers 1965 | (A & S 114) Barry Wonson |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
Allemande left, weave the ring
High above the dawn is waking
And my tears are falling down
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru, spin the top
Recycle, sweep 1/4
Pass thru, trade by
Touch 1/4, scoot back
Swing the corner, promenade her home
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Like a drum, my heart is beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierot and Columbine
Allemande and weave
Now the harbor light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
This will be our last goodbye
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Like a drum, my heart is beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierot and Columbine
Four boys promenade
Swing your partner, promenade
Though the carnival is over
This will be our last goodbye
TAG
Though the carnival is over
This will be our last goodbye
