I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel A pastel-colored carriage in the air I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while A silly twist upon a childish dare Below I saw you whisper to another man Who held the lever that could bring me down He stopped the world from turning at your command It's always something cruel when left to drown Chorus I can hardly hear the music from the carousel The wind picks up, the carriage starts to sway And one by one the lights go out, it's closing time I see you take his hand and walk away Walk away They say that you are always the last to know They say that all that glitters is not gold It's not just that you're never coming back to me It's the bitter way that I was told. Chorus
