Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
The carnival lights are turning, the wheel is going round
Ferris wheel and carousel, that same old fairground sound
I bought two tickets at the gate before the night got cold
Wanting one more ride together before we both grow old
[verse]
The barker's calling out the odds, the mirrors show us twice
Every game along the midway's rigged but feels so nice
We used to run through here like kids who never had a care
Now we're older, holding hands, still trying to get somewhere
[chorus]
Take me down to the tunnel of love
Where the lights go dim and the stars line up above
Take me down to the tunnel of love
One more ride before the carnival shuts down
[verse]
The engine of the little train is rattling down the track
Through the painted tunnel walls, there's no turning back
I hear the organ music fading out into the dark
Just you and me and shadows moving through the park
[chorus]
Take me down to the tunnel of love
Where the lights go dim and the stars line up above
Take me down to the tunnel of love
One more ride before the carnival shuts down
[bridge]
Somewhere past the funhouse mirrors, somewhere past the noise
There's a quiet corner waiting just for girls and boys
Hold on tight, the car is turning, hold on to my hand
This is as close to forever as I understand
[chorus]
Take me down to the tunnel of love
Where the lights go dim and the stars line up above
Take me down to the tunnel of love
One more ride before the carnival shuts down
