The carnival is closed for the winterThe gates are full of nailsAll my belongings in a camper truckIn front of some hellhole motelThe rides are wrapped in canvassThere's a smell of snow in the airThey're taking apart the Ferris wheelLike a game of solitaireLove, oh, love, I will be homeWhen the trees are bare and brownFor without you I'm just a carnival bumWhose fate goes round and roundWhose fate goes round and roundWhen little Maggie lost Big EarleMan, that was about it for herShe was MIA in the day to dayThe next three years were a blurI left home when Maggie checked outI been a snowbird ever sinceI work the circuit in the summertimeCome winter I jump the fenceSongtexteLove, oh, love, I will be homeWhen the trees are bare and brownFor without you I'm just a carnival bumWhose fate goes round and roundWhose fate goes round and roundDarkness comes with the headlightsIt gives me a little reliefI feel a little more like a leaf in the windAnd a little bit less like a thiefSometimes I feel I stole life itselfI'm as lucky as a man can beThe carnival is closed for the winterBut it don't matter to meLove, oh, love, I will be homeWhen the trees are bare and brownFor without you I'm just a carnival bumWhose fate goes round and roundWhose fate goes round and round Aus Songtexte Mania
