Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
E A D A
In the jumbled streets of lost retreats, the Clockwork Carousel spins,
E A D A
Woven tales, of love and wails, where our journey begins.
G D A E
We danced in shadows, loved in light, beneath the moon’s soft gaze,
G D A E
Caught in the web of time’s sweet jest, lost in our youthful daze.
(Chorus)
C G D E
Clockwork Carousel, take us round, our hearts are yours to steal,
C G D E
In the echoes of the night, we find what’s real.
C G D E
Turn the gears of love and time, let the story unfurl,
C G D E
On the Clockwork Carousel, in this spinning world.
(Verse 2)
E A D A
Years rolled on, our laughter’s song, turned into silent whispers,
E A D A
Life’s cruel jest, we did our best, amid the winters.
G D A E
But the carousel kept turning, each moment a fading star,
G D A E
In the heart of the ticking tempest, we find out who we are.
(Chorus)
C G D E
Clockwork Carousel, spinning fast, in the maze of time,
C G D E
In the silence of the night, we hear the chime.
C G D E
Turn the gears of love and fear, let the music swirl,
C G D E
On the Clockwork Carousel, in this spinning world.
