Lakeside Park

Rush

Midway hawkers calling
Try your luck with me
Merry-go-round wheezing 
The same old melody
A thousand ten cent wonders
Who could ask for more
A pocketful of silver
The key to heaven's door 

Lakeside Park
Willows in the breeze
Lakeside Park
So many memories
Laughing rides
Midway lights
Shining stars on summer nights 

Days of barefoot freedom
Racing with the waves
Nights of starlit secrets
Crackling driftwood flames
Drinking by the lighthouse
Smoking on the pier
Still we saw the magic 
Fading every year 

Everyone would gather 
On the twenty-fourth of May 
Sitting in the sand 
To watch the fireworks display 
Dancing fires on the beach 
Singing songs together 
Though it's just a memory
Some memories last forever
