lyrics

After Luna Park
(Cardier)

Come light my row of lights -
The show’s about to start -
I see an old amusement place
They call it Luna Park -
Come step along, my darlin’,
On love’s crazy ways with me -
To the moon, my friend,
And back again
And all stops in-between.

Come lay down by my side -
I see you in the dark -
I see a kid who went and did
The rounds at Luna Park
Where everyone had their own balloon
Come followin’ behind -
Just like the song I gave to you
Once upon a time.

Come let’s go stumblin’ arm in arm
From all these crazy lanes -
Not knowin’ where we’re goin’ to
Not comin’ back again -
Darlin’, I’ll go dancin’ by
So may you turn your head to me -
Come let that be enough for you
After all you’ve seen.

Come light my row of lights -
The show’s about to end -
I see a kid who did the zany rounds
With Harpo Marx and friends -
Till you found that you could take no more -
You’d emptied out your heart -
And that’s the way you gazed at me
After Luna Park.

In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
