Lyrics: Carousel

Late night
Step on the carousel
Spend all night
Spinning round and round
Hold tight
Now you don't let go
Until day light
Pours through your window
(you, you)

Sometimes
We talk on the telephone
And it's running dry
The conversation slows
Red lights
And that's not set in stone
Well I'm up all night
Until you get home I long for the smell of your hair, the smell of your hair

And all this time
In a hiding place, in a hiding place
All our lives with a melody (oh)
All this time
Yea we might as well we might as well
Close our eyes
Sing a melody (oh)
(you, you)

Outside
Pours down with rain again
People passing by
Sometimes stop and stare
And our worried eye
With now here nor there
Well I'm stuck in time
Until you are near I long for the smell of your hair, the smell of your hair

And all this time
In a hiding place, in a hiding place
All our lives sing a melody (oh)
All this time
Yea we might as well we might as well
Close our eyes
Sing a melody (oh)

(oh, oh, oh, oh)

And all this time
In a hiding place, in a hiding place
All our lives sing a melody (oh)
All this time
Yea we might as well we might as well
Close our eyes
Sing a melody (oh)
