Carousel of Life

Around and around I go

On the carousel of life

With nearly nothing to show

Except for disappointment and strife

 

Screeching music, vintage tune

Old engine, wheezing, working hard

Painted angels, flowers, sun and moon

Wooden horses, scratched and marred

 

The horses riding up and down

Just like my mood, from low to high

I am nothing but a run-down clown

With painted smile and tired sigh

 

There was a time when all was new

When riding the horses was much fun

But good times never last, I knew

Accept that what is done is done

 

We always hope for another chance

A way to make things right

Both in life and in romance

But deliverance is out of sight

 

The carousel goes on and on

I’m just along for this one ride

Some day soon I will be gone

Watching sadly from the other side
