Schwa Lyrics

Carousel

Lyricist: John Mullins
Vocalist: John Mullins

It's not hard to see how the river flows 
Looking back from the front row of one of them shows 
Where it is going I don't think it cares, I don't think it knows 
But it gets there anyway, it's just gotta go, gotta go 
Tie-dyed ocean moving up and down 
Just like waves in the water, sharks and alligators swimming around 
I am going to dive in and sink until I drown, 'til I drown 

Remember the painted horses we used to ride 
They would take us down and then they'd jump up and make us high 
In a childhood memory I know they are alive 
The carousel keeps on spinning straight up to the sky, to the sky 
Now we turn to find out that we're on our own 
I sure would like to find this here rainbow's pot of gold 
I hope the rain is over before I get old, I get old 

Sweet Jane Maria you know she was there 
Just when we needed her you could tell in the air 
She was all around us before we know she was there 
Big white puffs of smoke rising up in the air, in the air 
Now sweet Maria she comes and she goes 
Just as she pleases and nobody knows 
Where she is going cause she don't care and she don't know 
But she gets there anyway she's just gotta go, gotta go
