lirik lagu tyler lyle - quarter carousel
[verse 1]
i was a toddler on a horse outside a small town grocery store
begging for another quarter from my mother
she picked me up and said
“now, now today we get one time around”
and that’s how disappointment was discovered
come seventeen, i was as green as that girl’s copper mezzanine
where i used to hide away from her father
and we plied those precious ores, listening for footsteps near the door
two glowing embers trying not to catch fire
[pre chorus]
how do i stand still on this quarter carousel?
i am on my way
[chorus]
turn, turn, turn
time will take the wisdom out of me
turn, turn, turn
the starry fields will heal a cabin fever
[verse 2]
and the troubles started hard as disappointment traced its arc
as the clockwork stars turned through the darkness
she said she had to go, under her mama’s portico
and she left me with the ghost of a sunset
in the back of a whiskey bar i found the world’s saddest guitar
i changed a couple strings and started playing
i had to sing a thousand songs before a stranger came along
forever closed my old handbook of lamentation
[pre chorus]
how do i stand still on this quarter carousel?
i am on my way
[chorus]
turn, turn, turn
time will take the wisdom out of me
turn, turn, turn
the starry fields will heal a cabin fever
[post chorus]
covering me
covering me
covering me
covering me
[verse 3]
when we look back at these lives long after we have died
will we really see a lesson or a moral?
accept that each and every tear was a seed we gave the years
that is waiting under winter’s powder cover
for some distant future time and the child with a nose that looks like mine
begging for another quarter from her mother
and carried on the bells of this quarter carousel
is a song meant to resolve into another?
