Carousel horse
I too move forward
on familiar ground

I drew this with colored pencils.

On the backs of animals

Spin me 'round again

Brightly painted horses prance 
On poles made out of brass 

http://www.etsy.com/listing/57017566/

The jumpers and the standers 
With their eyes made out of glass

http://www.etsy.com/listing/57017566/
They roam around on wooden decks
Of finely painted wood 

http://www.etsy.com/listing/52663423/

The sound of the calliope 
The clanging of the bell 

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67243307/

The children know the ride will start
A whoop, a scream, and yell!

A blur of colored horses
As the carousel gains speed

As little girls and boys sit tall 
Upon their wooden steed

The days of old will always be
The pride of Keansburg's past

The golden days of carousel
Into my heart are cast

If I weren't so frenzied and frantic,
So foolish and fol-de-rol,

I'd give up this dizzying antic,
I'd get off this carousel.

But the circle is stronger than I am,
And my head is all in a whirl.

http://weheartit.com/entry/5356170
I cling to the dashing pink horses,
My vision wound up like a curl.

http://weheartit.com/entry/5479106
I will ride while the music is playing

And the bell goes on Ding, Dong, Ding.

http://weheartit.com/entry/5797061

Oh, I'll never get down from this merry-go-round
'Til I've captured the last brass ring.

http://weheartit.com/entry/5842602
When I've captured the last brass ring, boys,

And silenced the last brass bell,
Then I'll drop from my horse like pink applesauce
And be done with this carousel.

Merry Go Round Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Hush was the first word you were taught
and they watched you wear

http://weheartit.com/entry/6137663

the clothes they claimed that they bought
they brought you down

http://weheartit.com/entry/7556981

to watch the merry-go around

http://weheartit.com/entry/7853242

In fall, you knew how much it cost
a trouble doll

http://weheartit.com/entry/8612279

around your neck when you lost
you wouldn't make a sound

photo source

but I could hear your little heart pound
and I watched your feet slip off the ground

Merry go round in dreams
writes 'em down, it seems

photo source
when she sleeps, she's free
merry go round in dreams

photo source

You wake to another day and find
the wind's blowing out of key with your sky

carousel guitars photo source
only you can see
and the rain dancing in the night

chanel fall winter 2008
everybody stands around in delight

chanel fall winter 2008 source

Merry go round in dreams
writes 'em down, it seems

chanel fall winter 2008 source

when she sleeps, she's free
merry go round in dreams

chanel fall winter 2008 source


and everybody thinks she's sick

she's got two worlds she can pick

http://pinterest.com/pin/3706143/

and she's sad
Hush is the only word you know

and I stopped listening long ago

photo source

they ignored me with a smile
you as a child
but the trouble doll hears your heart pound
and your feet they say goodbye to the ground
Merry go round in me

Even my kids
Aren't kids any more
