Lyrics: New England
How I want you,
How I want your loving, girl
How I want your pretty smile.
Through the winter nights,
And the long hot summer days,
I drift and dream of you all the while.
And if you ever find yourself sold out
And
if you're at the end of the line
You can find my sanctuary
waiting
Don't worry girl, I won't let on.
How
I want you,
How I want your loving, girl
Those
sentimental signs in your stare
You look at me that way,
You
wanna drive me crazy,
Now I'm walking on and thinking away.
And
if you ever find yourself sold out
And if you're at the end of
the line
You can find my sanctuary waiting
Don't
worry girl, I won't let on.
No, I won't let
on,
Please take my sanctuary
No, I won't let on,
Please
take my sanctuary
Won't you hear me, darling?
Won't
you hear me, darling?

Pretty baby, in your cradle,
Smiling sickly, hushed and still
Mama loves you, oh how she loves you,
But when you cry now, she cannot hear
And the lights go out on the carousel,
Infant
innocent, so long, farewell.
Little sad
eyes, looking for playthings,
But there's no brother to play with
you
Stern faces gather, distant voices murmur
But
no-one touches, no-one comes near
And the lights go out on the carousel,
Infant
innocent, so long, farewell.
Hours pass
slowly, restless turning
For there's no mother to heal your pain
Fading
surely, you are returning,
But will it first be from a broken
heart?
And the lights go out on the carousel,
Infant
innocent, so long, farewell.
And the lights go out on the carousel,
Infant
innocent, so life, farewell.
