Mark Mulholland - Carousel Lyrics

A soft rain is falling, smoke drifts across the field
you're woken from a dream and then you realise it's all too real
singing and dancing and spinning round
you're reeling and your rocking, then you hit the ground
now you're sitting in the shadows and waiting for your wounds to heal

Chasing after something that always seems to be so near
but when you try to catch it, somehow it always disappears
You think you're going somewhere but you just can't tell
that you're going round in circles on the carousel
Now it's just another morning and you're waiting for the mist to clear

You get the feeling that everything is slipping away
like water through your fingers and memories are all that stay
Revolutions go in circles, always back to the start,
and leave you wondering why you tore it apart
but I still can't help believing in the promise of a brand new day
