Julie
Bainbridge Merril
The Garden
Julie
She stops for coffee every morning
Grabs the paper while she's yawning
Wishing she was still in bed
And though her cup is always full
The 8am 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 no where 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
That 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 no where round and round
And round when will it end
Don't ever be afraid
To open up your eyes
So you can see tomorrow
Let it go and you will fly away
