1. Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a lover`s song,

how it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone.

2. High above the dawn is waking, and my tears are falling rain,

F C - Am F - G C - C7

for the carnival is over, we may never meet again.

F - G C - Am F - G Em - C7

Like a drum my heart was beating, and your kiss was sweet as wine,

but the joys of love are fleeting, for Pierrot and Columbine.
