Carousel

from Little Ripples by Eric McGrath

/

lyrics

The ground comes up fast
And we swear it’s our last
While the first light, it brings a new day

I’m in love with the feeling
That I get when you’re near me
And I wonder if you feel the same

I’m getting weaker and weaker
With each railway sleeper
That passes and knows me by my first name

The amapola poppy no
I swear it never got me no
But that’s not to say I’m ok

Carousel, you were doing so well
Was it not meant to be?
Here’s to you, punctured and used,
While you live out your days by the sea

Only once did I lie
Yet I still tried and I try
And I hope to convince you some day

Yes now I understand
Since you held me in your soft hands
I promise that I’ll change my old ways

Carousel, you were doing so well
Was it not meant to be?
Here’s to you, punctured and used,
While you live out your days by the sea

Memories that come to visit me through frequent dreams
The band plays in its stand and you keep spinning ‘round to screams
Those summer days have long since come and gone
The package deals, the two for ones
While your open wounds, rust in peace
