Van Morrison - The Party’s Over lyrics

[Intro: Instrumental] [Verse 1] The party’s over It’s time to call it a day They’ve burst your pretty balloon, taken the moon away (yes) Time to wind up This masquerade Just make your mind up The piper must be paid [Chorus] The party’s over Oh, candle’s flicker and stir We danced and dreamed all through the night Seemed so right Bein’ with her But you’ve got to wake up Wake up All dreams must end Take off your makeup [Post-Chorus] The party’s over It’s all over [Interlude: Instrumental] [Chorus] Party’s over Yeah, the flicker and stir We danced and dreamed all through the night Seemed so right Bein’ with her But you’ve got to wake up Wake up, wake up All dreams must end Take off your makeup [Post-Chorus] The party’s over It’s all over My friend [Outro] The party’s over
