Candy and Balloons

Every year when the last days of summer bear down

The funfair rolls through town

All the laughter and smells, speeding rides and yells

Candy and balloons

An old friend spies an old friend

Memory crinkling in their eyes

A hand breaks loose

An innocent youth

Drifting to

The man with a balloon

A proud mother turns round

Eyes toward the ground

Glancing for her child

All the laughter and yells

Spinning lights and bells

Vibrate and turn wild

Every night when the light hits the window just right

Her face rests in her palms

All the laughter and smells, spinning lights and bells

Candy and balloons

Candy and balloons

Candy and balloons

Candy and balloons

Candy and balloons

Candy and
