Merry​-​Go​-​Round

from Small by Robin Tymm

lyrics

The clock has been a-ticking
And a bell's about to sound
The last few grains of sand
Will soon be falling to the ground
The daylight's lost its fight
And now the night is coming down
This ride is nearly over
Then I'm getting off
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round

I can still recall that feeling
Like I was flying through the air
And those painted wooden horses
Came alive right then and there
But now the spin just makes me dizzy
I don't know my ups from downs
So I’m waiting for a chance
When I can jump off
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round

They must have worked all through the night
To take the fairground down
The only sign that it was here at all
Was this muddy patch of ground
They took their rides and their sideshows
To some other town
Where a whole new bunch of kids like me
Are getting on and getting off
Of that merry-go-round
Of that merry-go-round

The clock has been a-ticking
And a bell's about to sound
The last few grains of sand
Will soon be falling to the ground
The daylight's lost its fight
And now the night is coming down
This ride is nearly over
Then I'm getting off
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round
Of this merry-go-round
