Lyrics
Thank you
Thank you very much
Woo
We'd like to do something for you right now that's on Caresse of Steel
This is a song that Neil wrote the lyrics for
About a place not too far from where he was born
Not too far from here as a matter of fact
It's called Lakeside Park
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, yes
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
