Lakeside Park

Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart



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
