0:30Sit and wait for the day
0:34Where your life might change
0:38And that day never comes
0:42This is rule number one
0:46All the changes must come from you
0:52Is the second rule
0:56Take a long way round
1:00See the sights hear sounds
1:04Where you'll go nobody knows
1:12Been this way
1:14Since the day
1:16I was born
1:18Far away
1:20And the walk
1:22In the rain
1:24Makes you feel
1:26Young again
1:28I assumed
1:29You would be my strength
1:34Oh how wrong I was
1:37That's the wrong way round
1:42How you need me now
1:45The carrousel keeps turning still
1:53This one cried this one smiled
1:57But we all felt alive
2:01Like a walk in the rain
2:05Made us feel young again
2:09With the crowd singing "all right now"
2:15As the rain came down
2:19It's a long way home
2:23But we're not alone
2:27Life's carrousel keeps turning still
2:36Life keeps turning around and around
2:44We keep learning from things we have found
2:53Overground
2:57What a fool
2:59To believe
3:01I could help
3:03You to breathe
3:05Getting cold
3:07In the rain
3:09Makes us feel
3:11Young again
3:13If you go
3:15Take a long way round
3:19You'll be lost then found
3:23It's a long way home
3:27But you're not alone
3:30The carrousel bring you back again
Sit and wait for the day Where your life might change And that day never comes This is rule number one All the changes must come from you Is the second rule Take a long way round See the sights hear sounds Where you'll go nobody knows Been this way Since the day I was born Far away And the walk In the rain Makes you feel Young again I assumed You would be my strength Oh how wrong I was That's the wrong way round How you need me now The carrousel keeps turning still This one cried this one smiled But we all felt alive Like a walk in the rain Made us feel young again With the crowd singing "all right now" As the rain came down It's a long way home But we're not alone Life's carrousel keeps turning still Life keeps turning around and around We keep learning from things we have found Overground What a fool To believe I could help You to breathe Getting cold In the rain Makes us feel Young again If you go Take a long way round You'll be lost then found It's a long way home But you're not alone The carrousel bring you back again
