Description
Sometimes we need backstory to know someone. On a memorable trip to the Bay Area, my then girlfriend shared a special place from her childhood. In the rolling hills above Oakland, there is a carousel that she frequented with her brother and sisters. While munching popcorn; the piped in music swirling above the circling riders, we shared stories, and deepened the mystery.

Lyrics
Up and down the painted ponies parade
the calliope sings such a blissful refrain
smiling pink faces with secrets to share
go around and around. without a care
Gaze out the window, the mountains below me
a tapestry patchwork laid out to the sea.
Shrouded in mists, way out on the horizon, lies
the home of this little girl who's waiting for me
Hide and seek, ollie oxen free, hide and seek no you'll never find me
Run so fast, as fast as you can. no you'll never catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man
Down in the valley, the bluebells are sounding
the fall of the water is calling your name
And the redwoods stand guard, ore the hills of Ladera, the house is now gone but the feelings, the feelings remain
Pixies and knees socks, all covered in bramble
innocence lost is so hard to regain
swimming in the tall grass, the breeze sings a lullaby. Sticky weed clings to the memories, ah the memories we weave.
Hide and seek, olie oxen free. Hide and seek oh you'll never catch me. run so fast, as fast as you can. No, you'll never catch me,
I'm the Gingerbread Man.
the calliope sings such a blissful refrain
smiling pink faces with secrets to share
go around and around. without a care
Gaze out the window, the mountains below me
a tapestry patchwork laid out to the sea.
Shrouded in mists, way out on the horizon, lies
the home of this little girl who's waiting for me
Hide and seek, ollie oxen free, hide and seek no you'll never find me
Run so fast, as fast as you can. no you'll never catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man
Down in the valley, the bluebells are sounding
the fall of the water is calling your name
And the redwoods stand guard, ore the hills of Ladera, the house is now gone but the feelings, the feelings remain
Pixies and knees socks, all covered in bramble
innocence lost is so hard to regain
swimming in the tall grass, the breeze sings a lullaby. Sticky weed clings to the memories, ah the memories we weave.
Hide and seek, olie oxen free. Hide and seek oh you'll never catch me. run so fast, as fast as you can. No, you'll never catch me,
I'm the Gingerbread Man.
