Song language: English
Come Ride, Come Ride |
| Hearing children as they laugh and they sing |
| Pulling brass rings, dreaming all sorts of things |
| And the stare in their mother’s eyes, both fear and delight |
| She’s shaking from fright but she knows everything’s all right |
| Come ride, come ride, come ride up and down |
| The merry-go, merry-go-round |
| Pictures bring back thoughts and things from the past |
| Memories, they last, even though time, it will pass |
| For memories are real when there is nothing more |
| Whenever you’re bored and there’s nothing to live for |
| Come ride, come ride, come ride up and down |
| The merry-go, merry-go-round |
| An old man, he sits and he rocks in his chair |
| Waiting to die, the boy starts to cry but the man he cannot |
| 'Cause he’s lived far too long and there is nothing left |
| Visions of youth and he serves no more use than a book on the shelf |
| Life is sweet when you’ve lost all your fear |
| Death, it is near, your cares, they will disappear |
| So you sit and remember the gay laughing sounds |
| The ups and the downs of your ride on the merry-go-round |
| Come ride, come ride, come ride up and down |
| The merry-go, merry-go-round |
| Life is just a merry-go-round |
