Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Driving down an endless road

Taking friends or moving alone

Pleasure at the fairground on the way

[Verse 2]

It's always friends that feel so good

Let's make amends like all good men should

Pleasure at the fairground on the way

[Verse 3]

Walk around, be free and roam

There's always someone leaving alone

Pleasure at the fairground on the way

[Verse 4]

And I love the thought of coming home to you

Even if I know we can't make it

Yes, I love the thought of giving hope to you

Just a little ray of light, shining through

[Verse 5]

Love can bend and breathe alone

Until the end it finds you a home

Don't care what the people may say

[Verse 6]

It's always friends that feel so good

Let's make amends like all good men should

Pleasure at the fairground on the way

[Verse 7]

And I love the thought of coming home to you

Even if I know we can't make it

Yes, I love the thought of giving hope to you

Just a little ray of light, shining through

[Verse 8]

I love the thought of coming home to you

Even if I know we can't make it

Yes, I love the thought of giving hope to you

Just a little ray of light, shining through

[Verse 9]

Pleasure at the fairground on the way

[Verse 10]

And I love the thought of coming home to you

Even if I know we can't make it

Yes, I love the thought of giving hope to you

Just a little ray of light, shining through

And I love the thought of coming home to you

Even if I know we can't make it

Yes, I love the thought of giving hope to you

Just a little ray of light, shining through

[Verse 11]

Love the thought

Even if I know we can't make it

Love the thought
