Shannon’s Perspective:
“Though it’s just a memory, some memories last forever.”
This was Larry’s pick and after hearing what he has written I’m just gonna leave it at my quoted lyric.
I honestly have a lot I could say tonight, but I think I'll keep this one between Shannon and I...
Lakeside Park
Music by Lee and Lifeson / Lyrics by 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 - 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 24th 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...
P.S. Thank you Alex for convincing Geddy to play this during R40 - you guys have no idea what this meant to me and every other fan. It fit perfectly with how you staged the show. And it is a memory that will last forever...
Rest In Peace, Neil Peart - 09/12/1952 - 01/07/2020
