Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1998 Found on Human Nature. I remember so long ago wondering Could we stay this way forever On this carousel turning and laughing We just wanted to be together And so we did it We left on our own merry way Into this world alone In the sand at the sea we lay gazing At the stars up above in the heavens There was nothing to keep us from playing We just wanted to be together Why did we do it We left on our own merry way Into this world alone Little did we know Where we were going then And when things got cold Trying not to pretend Ooo... And still we did it We left on our own merry way Into this world alone How were we to know Things were so simple then Somehow we lost hope Falling to earth again Then came that cold winter's day When we ended it forever After everything we used to say There was nothing to keep us together And so we did it Each left on our own merry way Back to this world alone
