The Ferris Wheel

I was young So I got married on a ferris wheel And round and round and round we went In circles I was foolish Ferris wheels take you nowhere Other than the highs and lows of life Love has a way of spinning you around The Ferris wheel of love Tossed me to the ground Joined the circus of loneliness Saw you in a dream Travel to far away places To look in the mirrors Of martini bars Saw a phone on the wall So I just called To say I love you

Great metaphor! I liked the unpredictability of your imagination... it's the little things in life that make up the bigger things... sweet and endearing ending!
