The fairground music played, under the palm trees And the beggar running around having himself some fun The sweet song serenade, it was our song to take So we took it and we begun Under the shadow of, the ancient Ferris wheel Where teenage lovers locked lips and hands held tight I hear the screaming of young love in the summer Screaming promise you’ll always stay by my side The gypsy danced, she was just magic Then she fell to her knees Her crimson dress, laced with yellow ribbon Just a penny, for your thoughts if you will please I see the magic, of the fairground, I see the lost lovers waiting to be found I feel the passion of those soft kisses, and the fear of the old state ghost train in the fair ground Maria came to me, I’d seen her in my dreams, her voice, was never what I thought Let’s just stay right here, under the Ferris wheel and catch those lovers as they fall We took a ride, through the house of mirrors and as I thought life’s never as it seems Maria sang to me, her tongue tasted sweet, from the dungeons I hear the children scream We took a walk, over the sandy streets, where the grains and the earth stuck to our feet The boys in denim vests, shaved chests, I see the way they look at you Maria I don't have the looks, but i can look at you with more passion than they do I grab you by the hand, we run into the shadows of the travelers burlesque ball room i saw Samantha in her, black laced corset, Little jimmy outside blasting music from his newly polished corvette I see the way the other women look at me dear, but i'm just tasting paradise with Maria I’m smiling, you were laughing, your teeth as white as the stars in the sky Your sweet voice laying over the fairground song, was sweet enough to make a man cry The juggler and hot dog stands, sit on the arid land, the rust gathers over the roller coaster Me and Maria I think my dear we could just walk hand in hand through the fairground forever

Fairground
The fairground music played, under the palm trees And the beggar running around having himself some fun The sweet song serenade, it was our song to take So we took it and we begun Under the shadow of, the ancient Ferris wheel Where teenage lovers locked lips and hands held tight I hear the screaming of young love in the summer Screaming promise you’ll always stay by my side The gypsy danced, she was just magic Then she fell to her knees Her crimson dress, laced with yellow ribbon Just a penny, for your thoughts if you will please I see the magic, of the fairground, I see the lost lovers waiting to be found I feel the passion of those soft kisses, and the fear of the old state ghost train in the fair ground Maria came to me, I’d seen her in my dreams, her voice, was never what I thought Let’s just stay right here, under the Ferris wheel and catch those lovers as they fall We took a ride, through the house of mirrors and as I thought life’s never as it seems Maria sang to me, her tongue tasted sweet, from the dungeons I hear the children scream We took a walk, over the sandy streets, where the grains and the earth stuck to our feet The boys in denim vests, shaved chests, I see the way they look at you Maria I don't have the looks, but i can look at you with more passion than they do I grab you by the hand, we run into the shadows of the travelers burlesque ball room i saw Samantha in her, black laced corset, Little jimmy outside blasting music from his newly polished corvette I see the way the other women look at me dear, but i'm just tasting paradise with Maria I’m smiling, you were laughing, your teeth as white as the stars in the sky Your sweet voice laying over the fairground song, was sweet enough to make a man cry The juggler and hot dog stands, sit on the arid land, the rust gathers over the roller coaster Me and Maria I think my dear we could just walk hand in hand through the fairground forever
