Magic Pie - Slightly Mad

I remember sundays in the park
Evening prayers in the dark
Sweet dreams of wings of hope
Eyes wide open as a new morning broke

I am desperate and I am nostalgic
Clinging to the past
As for tomorrow, I do believe
This carrousel will pass
Beyond the point of no returning
Good things never last
And it makes me sad and just slightly mad!

In my memories still homeward bound
Those days were like a merry-go-round
Youth didn't come to soon
Sweet temptation sweet perfume

I am desperate and I am nostalgic
Clinging to the past
As for tomorrow, I do believe
This carrousel will pass
Beyond the point of no returning
Good things never last
And it makes me sad and just slightly mad!

I remember sundays in the park
Evening prayers in the dark
Sweet dreams of wings of hope
Eyes wide open as a new morning broke

In my memories still homeward bound
Those days were like a merry-go-round
Youth didn't come to soon
Sweet temptation sweet perfume

Am I being over-nostalgic?
Dreaming of the past
The world today - I'm just not so sure
If life's worth living for
There were times, I was optimistic
We should have made it last
But now I'm just so sad

Don't be desperate, don't be frantic
I'm clinging to the past
I've got all the love you need
How could I made it last
It's peaceful here and so romantic
Instead I let it pass
Now don't be sad, don't be sad

Don't be desperate, don't be frantic
I'm clinging to the past
To a dream you thought could come real
That hope is fading fast
It's peaceful here and so romantic
Instead I let it pass
Come back and stay, we'll find a way

Please, let me stay
