"Carousel" lyrics - HOLLY NEAR

HOLLY NEAR
"Carousel"
(Eric Blau / Jacques Brel)

Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Fortune tellers in glass cases
We will always remember these

Merry go rounds, quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning till you can't see

We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around
Again we go around

And now we spin around
We're high above the ground
And down again around
And up again around

So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel

We're on a Ferris wheel
A crazy Ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel
And suddenly we feel

The stars begin to reel
And down again around
And up again around
And up again around

So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel

Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Crazy clowns chasing brass rings
Soda pop and rock candy trees

Merry go rounds, quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning till we can't see

Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Kewpie dolls with painted faces
Tricky shell games and missing peas

Merry go rounds, quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning till you can't see
