Carousel 04:32
Turning tides are rolling in again Some things change, and some things never will I've been trying hard to reach you As the carousel turns to leave you Watching all their faces Hiding their disgraces Disappointments, broken dreams and let downs Tuning in to what's inside their heads Opening our doors again It could have been a beautiful friendship You have to take the open hand When it's offered it's a wonderful thing Please enjoy your time on the carousel Weather vanes are turning east again Soon we will leave this place, nothing lasts forever I've been driving far to meet you As the carousel turns to greet you What if I wasn't here? If I just disappeared? It's the worst I feared An empty space now
