Ragtime Carnival

(album: Constellation Prize - 2013)

Come and dance with me, baby
Hitch a ride, all aboard
Don't you dare say, "I love you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

Hold me close, pretty baby
Come alive inside my heart
Don't you dare say, "I need you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

And I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

Come and dance with me, baby
Take the carnival ride inside your heart
Lay your jewelry out before me
Say the words that make the world
Go round and round and round

Just be the love that sustains me
Come alive, come alive
Don't you dare say you'll miss me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

But I'm getting old, whoa lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

So, what's it take, pretty baby
I need a haircut and you can shave my face
There's a way that you touch me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, you know I'm yours

Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
