[Verse 1]
Merry-go-round
Going around
Under the cloudy skies
Sad little horses
With raindrops like tears
In their painted eyes

[Verse 2]
They keep asking me when
You'll come again
How can my heart explain
You left us all
Even the small
Merry-go-round in the rain

[Bridge]
It seems to say
"No show today
No you, no me
No use to be"

[Verse 3]
As the old-fashioned beat
Flows down the street
Who joins the brave refrain?
No one at all
Only the small
Merry-go-round in the rain
[Bridge]
No you, no me
No use to me

[Verse 3]
As the old-fashioned beat
Flows down the street
Who joins the brave refrain?
No one at all
Only the small
Merry-go-round in the rain
