Verse 1
Silver lights on the avenue
Taxi radios hum in blue
Velvet voices from the boulevard
Dreamers dancing in the dark
Cheap champagne and cigarette glow
Everybody got somewhere to go
But your shadow stayed with me
Like a song from a memory
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Oh, the night was turning gold
Hearts were reckless, hearts were cold
Then you took my hand and ran
Like we’d never land again
⸻
Chorus
Midnight carousel
Round and round beneath the moonlight spell
Oh we fell
Like a firework into heaven
Midnight carousel
Every heartbeat ringing like a bell
Can’t you tell?
We were burning bright together
⸻
Verse 2
Hotel windows flicker white
Neon angels in the night
Your laughter cut through every crowd
Like thunder singing loud
Rain came down on paradise
Still you danced without thinking twice
And the city moved below
Like waves we used to know
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Oh, the night was turning gold
Young enough to lose control
Every street became a stage
Every kiss escaped the cage
⸻
Chorus
Midnight carousel
Round and round beneath the moonlight spell
Oh we fell
Like a firework into heaven
Midnight carousel
Every heartbeat ringing like a bell
Can’t you tell?
We were burning bright together
⸻
Bridge
Galileo stars above us
Broken halos trying to love us
Radio queens and kings of sorrow
Singing for another tomorrow
Ahhhh-ahhh
Ahhhh-ahhh
Hold me while the world keeps spinning
Like the night is never ending
⸻
Final Chorus
Midnight carousel
Hear the echoes from the old hotel
Time will tell
Why the dream still stays forever
Midnight carousel
Though the curtains fell, we wore it well
Can’t you tell?
We were burning bright together
⸻
Outro
Silver lights on the avenue
Still I hear that song from you…
