lyrics

One night at the county fair
I saw her on the carousel
In another life I think we knew each other well
In a white summer dress
She looked just like the Holy Ghost
Reflecting back the things that I always feared the most

There she goes round again
The world by her side
In the dark I'm standing still
Clinging to my pride
Even when I close my eyes
And spin myself around
All I do is lose my head
And end up on the ground
Like a fool
Just a perfect fool
I would play it cool
If I weren't a fool

Now the fair has come and gone
But I still see her plain as day
Close enough to touch and yet a whole world away
Seems that all this time I've been
On the outside looking in
Waiting here for that other life to begin

[CHORUS]

One more time round again
She is burning bright
On my own in the dark
I'm lost to the night
Even when I close my eyes
And try to pretend
All I do is stumble on
This will never end
'Cause I'm a fool
Just a perfect fool
I would play it cool
If I weren't a fool
