there was once a ferris wheel of love in my room

at the brink of death of each and every night
we would hitch a ride to the stars
pretending to love
without
the problems and consequences of love
till the wheel comes down
till the morning comes down
to break our hearts
and we said goodbye with a smile
with a smile

you don't care if someone else was on my bed last night
you only have an empty space to fill
in between each breath you take
in between your skin and your flesh
in between your legs you spread so wide for me
but an empty space that I could never fill
never

I said I don't care
but I do
each night on the ferris wheel
and so I hear Joni Mitchell say,
if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.

and so we are just making love
and every touch I make, every kiss I give
I don't give myself away
I don't give myself away to you
it's a game we play
that ends in the morning with a goodbye
and a smile

there was once a ferris wheel of love in my room
rolling, spinning, dizzy
