Lyrics
Carousels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Carousels twirl all around exited youth.
I do not mind
at all.
We're tonight in a world full of thrills it can (come) carry me up,
far above
it all.
It's a long way down
from here
to the sound.
Watch the faces
go around
to the stars
then the ground.
Ferris wheels carried us away
not so long ago.
Times I've betrayed.
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Well the years they pass by slow
don't they?
It's a long way down
from here
to the sound.
Watch the faces
go around
to the stars
then the ground.
