Nice bittersweet tune by Rush I listened to a thousand times
around 1987 or so. Lots of memories mashed up in this song, memories of Seaside
Heights, Wildwood, Lake George …
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 was fading every
year
Lakeside Park
Willows in the breeze
Lakeside Park
So many memories
Laughing rides
Midway lights
Shining stars
On summer nights
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
