Carousel
Time to turn a 45 and listening to the opening line
Dreaming of a simpler life, that seems beyond me
It’s a feeling, I can’t take it, all these contradictions make it
Harder to reveal the sun that sunk inside

It’s gonna take a little while, for me to get that close to you
And every time I pass you by, my heart is breaking as I

Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
But my head’s still spinning

I never meant to run you down, this twisted road has lead me on
Just to drop me off right where I started
This perfect picture comes and goes
And once again I think I’m close
Something pulls me back to this old carousel

And every time I pass you by, my heart’s breaking as I

Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
But my head’s still spinning
Ride
Ride

Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me on this ride
On this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
Yes, I’m reaching out for you
But my head’s still spinning
