Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] I stand on the [G] edge of the [Am] evening,
[E] Dancing with the [F] shadows of [C] old,
[C] Lost in the [G] carousel of [Am] echoes,
[E] Each one a [F] story untold. [C]
(Chorus)
[F] Woah, [C] Carousel of [G] Echoes,
[Am] Round and [E] round we [F] go,
[F] Trapped in a [C] whirl of [G] reflections,
[Am] In the [E] heart of the [F] afterglow. [C]
(Verse 2)
[C] I hear the [G] whispers of [Am] yesteryears,
[E] Riding on the [F] winds of [C] change,
[C] Spinning in the [G] carousel of [Am] echoes,
[E] Life’s beautiful, [F] strange exchange. [C]
(Chorus)
[F] Woah, [C] Carousel of [G] Echoes,
[Am] Time’s [E] merry [F] show,
[F] We’re just [C] echoes in the [G] carousel,
[Am] Lost in the [E] ebb and [F] flow. [C]
