‘Carnival in Her Eyes’ - Elm Tree Row - Live @ Firerock Brewing Co. - April 2023

Carnival in Her Eyes V1. You’ve taken every blow I’ve thrown, even some that we’re not mine We’ve trundled through the barren years to a land of cheese of wine. Spinning plates ain’t easy, losing track of the time So I’m standing here and I will declare, there’s a carnival in her eyes. V2. Resplendent in your green and gold and a laugh that cracks the sky Mischief managed in your heart, I know that I must try To make up for the textures on every one of your scars She’s standing here and I will declare, there’s a carnival in her eyes V3. Every drink that’s passed these lips, every spirit that I’ve kissed Has failed to fill the emptiness of a lover dearly missed [Forever you’re my lady, but it’s clear we’re dancing apart Whilst we’re standing here, I will declare there’s a carnival in her eyes.] (x2) V4. Sometimes we can stumble over simple turns of phrase We forget what matters most to those who yearn to hear our praise Where did the spark go, when did we let it decline? Now I’m standing here and I will declare, there’s a carnival in her eyes.
