Carousel Casualties
Leona
All the noises somehow cleared
And all the voices disappeared
Is this another mesmerizing question?
I found myself asking

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
I have no one else to blame
Playing all these fragile games

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

This evening I shall rest my case
Never knowing what to say
My reflections tell me wrong
But I kept pushing far too long

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
A solitary crow in a murder
Tell me, how much further?

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

And I will travel faraway between the oceans
Separating our fickle stares and our bashful smiles
Don’t even deny, just give me a try
Cause words won’t be able to bridge me over

Cause your taste fills my senses
With diamond wrenches under the trenches

Backward sailings around my
Norwegian desires
Call it a game

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie
