Carousels twirl around, excited youth
I do not mind at all
We're tonight in a world full of thrills, come carry me up
Far above it all
[Chorus:]
It's a long way
Down from here to the sound
Oh, watch the faces
Go ‘round to the stars, to the ground
Ferris wheels carried us away not so long ago
Times I've betrayed
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
The years have passed by slow
[Chorus]
