Dance With Me at the Carnival

[Verse 1] In a lonely field stands a scarecrow, weathered and grey Humming to carnival bells that drift far away Dreams of a partner to spin through the parade's light To dance with me, he whispers into the night [Pre-Chorus] If you were here, the wind would spell our names in sparks Every shadow would tilt toward the music in our hearts [Chorus] Dance with me, stitched heart, twirl in the silver glow Share the cheer and chaos where bright colors blow I am not alone when your hand finds mine and sways Together we'll ride the carnival through forgotten days [Verse 2] A dancer steps from the crowd, with laughter in her eyes She grins and says keep your beat, I will meet you where the drums rise We lace the straw sleeves with arms that finally belong And the parade swells alive as hearts find their song [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the field can dream too when two souls choose to stay And every ribbon in the float spins closer to someday [Chorus] Dance with me, stitched heart, twirl in the silver glow Share the cheer and chaos where bright colors blow I am not alone when your hand finds mine and sways Together we'll ride the carnival through forgotten days [Bridge] Under lantern light, the crowd's roar becomes a hymn The scarecrow learns that love can grow from him We crown the night with laughter stitch by stitch And every stride says we finally found our niche [Chorus] Dance with me, stitched heart, twirl in the silver glow Share the cheer and chaos where bright colors blow I am not alone when your hand finds mine and sways Together we ride the carnival, forever in our embrace [Outro] The parade keeps marching, and a laughing sun agrees Two hearts dancing in the chaos, side by side they seize
