Ariadne's Waltz Songtext
von Will Cookson

Time take me back through carousel dreams and zoetrope scenes
She stood in the rain beside the ghost train
Lost in the steam so I couldn′t quite see her

Love let me go from candyfloss eyes and bumper car rides
Under flickering lights and teenage delight
As big-dipper cries drift over the pier
Her arms drew me near


And through the fading light we wandered the empty roads
As I rolled out a thread so we could find our way home

Hope fly away from harbour light skies and Wurlitzer sighs
As the marching band slows and the gas lamps glow
The old couples glide away from their years

Fear release my soul as the acrobats swing from highwire rings
We'll fall through the night our fortunes bright
As the fat lady sings and the thinning crowd cheers
We′ll laugh through our tears

And into the swirling mists we'll waltz the endless road
As I let go the thread so we can find our way home
