Julie

Merril Bainbridge

She stops for coffee every morning
Grabs the paper while she is yawning
Wishing she was still in bed
And though her cup is always full
The 8 am express is leaving her without
A choice to stay
But where does she go
And who really knows the girl deep inside
The one she always tries to hide Julie,
Julie don't you know
You're riding on a carousel
That's going nowhere round and round
And round when will it end
Don't ever be afraid
To ride upon the biggest pony
Open up the gates and let it carry you away
She works so hard without a break
But every now and then she dreams
Of all the lovely places she could go
She wonders if she will ever arrive
And maybe then she can escape
From all the loneliness she feels inside
When will she learn
The love that she yearns to find
Deep inside
Has always been there in her mind Julie
Julie don't you know
You're riding on a ferris wheel that's going nowhere
Hold on tight so worried you might fall
Don't ever be afraid
To open up your eyes
So you can see tomorrow
Let it go and you will fly away Julie,
Julie don't you know
You're riding on a carousel
That's going nowhere round and round
And round when will it end
Don't be afraid
To open up your eyes
So you can see tomorrow
Let it go and you will fly away
