Texty: Merril Bainbridge. 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 8 a.m. 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 nowhere? '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 nowhere? '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
