This old carousel keeps on turning This old carousel keeps on turning, keeps on turning Worn smooth, faces, voices, broken, cracking Bright blue eyes in the darkness, passing lovers Chances taken, good times used Good times used Tell me it wasn't all for nothin' On that old carousel we refused We rode, we rode, we made believe Naked watching the snow falling, it burned our skin On that old carousel we shouted our love We shouted our love Tell me it wasn't all for nothing We weren't just taking our time before we caved in Those moments shared, they meant something didn't they? That intimacy wasn't all for nothing We had something that was ours, tell me We had something that was ours (Carousel keeps on turning)
