Carousel Blues Lyrics by Duncan McCarthy

Sinners Welcome

2019

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For so long I've been rolling around this heathen town
Been struck dumb by the curses and the claims I've laid down
Well she's had her fun now, she's said and done now
With certain old friends of mine
I'm so sad about us but just look around us
Well I've been biding my time

[Chorus 1]
And I can't say your prayers
'Coz they'd only let you down
And I can't take those cares
They'd only load us down
They'd load us down

[Verse 2]
For so long I've been reeling from these carousel blues
Through the high tides and the downsides
What have i got left to lose
'Coz she's had her fun now, she's said and done now
With certain old friends of mine
I'm so sad about us but just look around us
Well I've been biding my time

[Chorus 2]
And I can't say your prayers
'Coz they'd only let you down
And I can't take those cares
They'd only load us down
They'd load us down

God damn your fateful day 'til now
God damn your hateful day 'til now
'Til now (Carousel blues)
'Til now (Carousel blues)
'Til now
