I should thank Paul Simon whose words 'writing songs voices never share' inspired one line in this song. A debt of gratitude to the carousel that provided such a unique experience once upon a time.

Lyrics

The Carousel

there's a voice that goes forever 
on and on inside my head
its there in the morning
and it follows me to bed
sometimes when i least expect it
and  hold that voice at bay
just long enough to see there's another way

no one else will ever sing this little song of mine
its up to me to set it free
in this moment out of time

there's a voice inside my head
neither friend nor foe
on and on forever it goes
the carousel it circles round and round in the show
the face in it's mirror is no one i know

no one else will ever sing this little song of mine
its up to me to set it free
in this moment out of time
running out of time, running out of time

I could swear I already commented but I guess not!
I really loved the clean, clear, beautiful simplicity of this minimalistic approach that uses only your great fingerstyle pickin', that soft, ever solid bass, and your top shelf vox. The theme is the icing. Wonderful tune my friend.
