House Carpenter

Verse 1:
Hey Joe, do you remember when the fairground came to town?
And your mother kept you home but you sneaked out anyhow
Drawn to the hum, the lights, the crowds all queued up in lines,
To eat candy floss and go on the rides

Verse 2:
Hey Joe, do you remember how the fairground made us feel?
Screaming through the ghost train's turns, laughing on the Ferris wheel
Flying wild on the waltzer, caught spinning in its whirl,
Yet nothing held our hearts like the carousel.

Chorus:
And we rode on painted horses who couldn’t feel our joy
As we clung on to each other, said we’d hang out here forever
Cos forever is a moment in a fairground full of rides
Forever is that feeling I’ve been searching for ever since in my life. In my life 
I can’t forget about forever
Cos without it I’ll forget you by the by

Middle 8:
We named that horse forever cos the future never comes
And forever took us places we can only visit once

Verse 3:
Hey Joe, the other day I saw my children squeal with joy
As they rode on painted horses and they beckoned me to join them
but no horse was called forever and so I had to pass
Cos I couldn’t ride a horse that’s not ours

Painted Horses

Hold On

Lonely Road is the first song written with Mike Dampf.  His lyrics paint a lovely picture.

Lonely Road
M: Dan Swanson
L: Mike Dampf

There’s a somewhere that lives in my heart
Where a sleepy river flows
With busy hummingbirds and buzzing bees
By a cottage down a lonely road

Was it ever really there?
Is it just a lovely dream I want to share?
   
A river’s running through my sleepy[, sleepy] mind
Where dusk and dawn entwine
Her Sunday clothes are hanging on the line
At the cottage down that lonely road

Was there a way to change her mind?
Are these just shadows of another time?

It’s a somewhere that lives in my heart
where that sleepy river flows
with buzzing hummingbirds and busy bees
at that cottage down a lonely road

Was she ever really there?
Is this just a lovely dream I want to share?

There’s a woman in a dress of green
sitting on an old porch swing
the river whispers, meandering
past the cottage down that lonely road

Don’t look back, Don’t look back….
