Running For Money Soloversion

by Corny Held
I remember a merry-go-round
and a flying horse on it moves up and down
lights flicker colors all over the fair
You think you get on, but it's going nowhere
and then I remember the day it was gone
and I remember the day it stopped turning
Then I didn't know what was going on
and I see the flames and the wooden horse burning
and all the colors were smoke in the weeping air
and I started running, running for money
and I have been running, running for life
and I have been running, running for everything
and I have been running, only to find
All I ever needed was some love, Baby
All I ever wanted was some love, Baby
and now I think maybe, maybe I'll stay
I think maybe, maybe I'll stay
for a day
I remember the tunes full of joy
life in the hand of a child is a toy
Patterns on brocade wind over the land
and when life turns a fair, it all works, they pretend
and even the world must keep spinning, we learn
Moving in circles can be so amusing
Who is afraid of the day it'll burn
Feeling too dizzy can be so confusing
Just keep on running around to feel fine again
I had been running, running for money
and I have been running, running for life
and I have been running, running for everything
and I have been running, only to find
All I ever needed was some love, Baby
All I ever wanted was some love, Baby
and I have been coming along your way, Baby
and I have been coming a long, long way, Baby
and I have been running too long a way
and now I think maybe, maybe I'll stay
I think maybe, maybe I'll stay - for a day
or two - or three - or maybe forever
Maybe, maybe, maybe for eternity.
