Nightfall at Electric Park

The lilacs hum against my Schwinn
There! Lions wait
In the sweet faded grass
Thunder tumbling and
Rising with the moon
Revolving gates, I slip past

Down to Electric Park
Warmer winds are blowing
Twilight heavy on the road
Ferries steam across the water

Evening walks among the crowd
Palaise de Danse
Marching drums, swelling brass
Boardwalk carousel
A Camelot of lights
There, lovers wait, holding hands

Down to Electric Park
Cable cars are going
Streetlights heavy on the roads
Voltage burning in the wires

Blazing like a Northern star
Nightfall at Electric Park
They sail across from Canada
From April to October they will go

In waves, in pairs, alone!

Down to Electric Park
Everyone is going
Moonlight heavy on the road
Night mosaic on the water
