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
