Sunset Carousel
Memories of a Summer Romance: Sunset Carousel Tale
Lyrics
You came south from Chicago
You traveled south from Chicago.
In your brand new cut off jeans
You wore new cut-off jeans.
You said, "Pina colada"
You mentioned "Pina colada."
And I said this ones on me
The singer offered to pay for the drink.
I watched you sway to the music
The singer observed your dance movements.
And you stayed close enough to see
You stayed close for a better view.
You gave me your number
You shared your contact number.
Said, "I'm staying right down the beach"
You revealed your stay near the beach.
And we'd go down to the water
The two of you went to the water.
And drink straight from the bottle
You drank directly from the bottle.
The waves rolled in and we were just setting sail
Metaphorically, you set sail with the waves.
And we rode around all summer
You spent the entire summer riding around.
And we knew the end was coming
Aware of the approaching end.
At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell
You appreciated the memorable story that would emerge.
From that sunset carousel
Reflecting on the experiences from the "sunset carousel."
We took off like the sunrise
You started a new phase like the sunrise.
Just watched those ponies spin
You observed spinning ponies.
That first time in July
The initial encounter occurred in July.
And over, and over and over again
Repetition of joyful experiences.
And we'd go down to the water
Returned to the water for shared moments.
And drink straight from the bottle
Continued drinking from the bottle.
The waves rolled in and we were just setting sail
Symbolizing the ongoing journey with the waves.
And we rode around all summer
Extended summer adventures.
And we knew the end was coming
Anticipation of the impending end.
At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell
Recognizing the value of the shared story.
From that sunset carousel
Reflecting on the experiences from the "sunset carousel."
From that sunset carousel
Reiteration of the impact of the "sunset carousel."
Like a souvenir sticker, the colors fade
Comparing memories to a fading souvenir sticker.
We held on like they wouldn't
You held on despite challenges.
But then September came
September marked a turning point.
And we'd go down to the water
Returned to the water for shared moments.
And drink straight from the bottle
Continued drinking from the bottle.
The waves rolled in and we were just setting sail
Symbolizing the ongoing journey with the waves.
And we rode around all summer
Extended summer adventures.
And we knew the end was coming
Anticipation of the impending end.
At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell
Recognizing the value of the shared story.
From that sunset carousel
Reflecting on the experiences from the "sunset carousel."
From that sunset carousel
Reiteration of the impact of the "sunset carousel."
