Solved: merry go round - absolutely need to know this one

hey!

I heard this song on luxuriamusic.com, about 1 or 2 years ago and forgot about it but now I discovered I have the stream on my hard drive...the DJ does play some songs in a row that all have some sort of carousel or merry-go-round involved in their lyrics, so I suppose the title could refer to the topic, but unfortunately, I do not know nor do I have the complete lyrics...it's much rather a 60s song than anything modern (has some sort of flowerpower style), but it might also be some sort of retro-version....here's what I think I could catch from the lyrics, might not be correct for some parts as I'm not a native speaker...

----
hearing children as love (?) and they sing
pull and brass rings
dreaming all sorts of things

and the stare in their mother's eyes
both fear and delight
shaking from fright
but she knows everything's alright

COME RIDE, COME RIDE, COME RIDE UP AND DOWN
GO MERRY GO MERRY GO ROUND

pictures bring back thoughts and things from the past
memories they last
even though time will pass

memories are real and there is nothing more
whenever you're bored
and there's nothing to live for

COME RIDE, COME RIDE, COME RIDE UP AND DOWN
GO MERRY GO MERRY GO ROUND

[then comes the third verse of which I do not understand more than single words]

[now follows some short instrumental 60s style intermezzo]

[then follows the last verse which again is hard for me to crack]
------

anyone got some ideas? thanks a lot!

wow, awesome! I did maybe 50 searches with all types of quotations from the lyrics but I didn't come across that one. Thanks!
