The Carousel Waltz |
| Spinning fast, a piece of my past, |
| Calls me to wonder at where I have been, |
| The good and the bad and the bold and the nature of sin, |
| Up and down, and in and out, |
| Forty years dust that has gathered about, |
| The pieces of youth that we scattered around, |
| When we danced the Carousel Waltz. |
| A drink or two, a game of tag, |
| Catch a partner and join in the dance, |
| All of your dreams can come true if you just take a chance, |
| Don’t question love, don’t ask around, |
| Grab the brass ring from the hand of the clown, |
| The faster you whirl, the sooner around, |
| When you dance the Carousel Waltz |
| All of the carousel sweethearts, |
| And all of the carousel clowns, |
| Mirrored in merry confusion, |
| Pretending it’s love that we’ve found, |
| The years come and go with a whisper, |
| The calliope drowns out the age, |
| We glow and we fade in the roles that we’ve made, |
| 'Til there’s nothing but ghosts on the stage. |
| Now we’re forcing rhymes, of simpler times, |
| The paint on the ponies is fading away, |
| The red and the green and the blue go the same shade of gray, |
| Monochrome image of colored events, |
| Recollections of times that we spent, |
| The miracles came and the miracles went, |
| While we danced the Carousel Waltz. |
| The miracles came and the miracles went, |
| While we danced the Carousel Waltz. |
