Carousel

By naninina

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You come home and you feel a bit grouchy It is always a long day I know Your cat stays home all day, resting on top of your folded green blanket You play guitar like you watch the sunset To fill your soul up are both of them Once in a while your cat will go outside, to stretch and greet the Sun Oh baby don't be down 'Cause up and down we ride this carousel Oh baby don't bite your lips 'Cause whatever it is, It comes and goes just like the daylight You go outside and you spill coffee on your brand new shirt You go inside your room and you find your bills, piling up like a mountain You wake up early but not early enough You take care of your mother like she's your own child, but oh she won't listen and stop eating sugar Oh baby don't blame yourself 'Cause our mouths were once wide open Oh yes darlin we were ready to swallow the rain on a sunny day Up and down we ride this tote-go-round Up and down and up again And down again Up and down we ride this carouselWould this make a good song, you think?
