Carousel is the first single I am releasing for my upcoming solo e.p. "Today A Funeral. Tomorrow A Wedding." An album about death and joy and love and loss and life. I hope you enjoy.

lyrics

(verse)
The sailboats; The buildings;
The sounds of our feet walking around these damp city streets.
Drinks by the harbor go to our head.
The smiles; The memories; The words that were said.
The lights in the windows remind us of time.
On to the next place. Let's leave this behind.
Connections embrace us. We all feel the same.
Return on a sea of November rain.

(chorus)
Thoughts of past I wish you well.
Spinning 'round on a carousel.
Standing there supporting her.
Defining life. This life's a blur.

(verse)
The kids run from the waves that crash on the beach.
A coffee at Seaside. Sand under our feet.
We drive through the trees to the town on the hill.
Cross over the bridge. The fog settles the thrill.
We sing through the darkness in search for the light.
Headed homeward, the fog starts to rise.
Making new memories and reaching new heights.
I'll never forget all those Washington nights.

(chorus)
Thoughts of past I wish you well.
Spinning 'round on a carousel.
Standing there supporting her.
Defining life. This life's a blur.

(bridge)
Gonna party with us. Don't cry or throw up.

(chorus)
Thoughts of past I wish you well.
Spinning 'round on a carousel.
Standing there supporting her.
Defining life. This life's a blur.
