(V1)
How have I survived all these years without you
I'm on a carousel , I'm goin' round (backup: and roud)
How could I've known the troubles you'd bring me
My heart's locked up never to be found
(V2)
All your words they are standing in the water
Being drowned by the rain that's falling down
I can't read clearly from your letter
If this broken dream will turn around (backup: my broken dreams + violin screech)
(Prechorus)
When I call
There's no answer
So I leave another lovesick scrawl
When I climb the back steps to your door
You don't live there anymore (backup: not any more)
(Chorus)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our fairytale (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our vows (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
What happened to our good intentions
They've left with the carousel
They've left with that carousel
(V3)
It's useless to make sense of what has happened
I can't understand anything you mean
All your thoughts ... they're disappearing
Smudges from the rain have wiped it clean (backup: have wiped it clean)
(Chorus)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our fairytale (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our vows (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
What happened to our good intentions
They've left with the carousel
They've left with that carousel
(Bridge - need piano here to uplift)
So I climb upon the white horse
Pretend everything's okay
Grab my golden sword
Ready to slay another day
(Prechorus)
When I call
There's no answer
So I leave another lovesick scrawl
When I climb the back steps to your door
You don't live there anymore
(Chorus/Outro)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our fairytale (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
Ohhhhh, what happened to our vows (backup: Ohhh Ohhh Ohh)
What happened to our good intentions
They've left with the carousel
They've left with that carousel
The carousel ...
Ohhh, they've left with the carousel
