Gasworks Park

early in the evenin’
we go walkin’ in the park in the evenin’
do a little talkin’ in the dark of the evenin’
just she and me
see the way the moon flies
like a kite up in the night skies
shine upon the gasworks park
by the union sea

oh there’s a sign in the water
says don’t go in the water
there’s somethin’ in the water that they
don’t want you to get on your skin
oh but the lights of the city
make it look so pretty
and one of these days we gonna leave
this city behind

and there is little to be what it appears to be
it’s an illusory situation
you can do anything, be any one
get your mind undone, it’s a simple equation
and it’s a tiny spark
in the gasworks park

oh in the town that I was born in
they got up every mornin’, went to work
and they came home in the evenin’
and it was always the same
I coulda followed in their footsteps
don’t know why I didn’t
but somethin’ in my thinkin’ wouldn’ allow me
to jump on that train

and there is little to be what it appears to be
it’s an illusory situation
you can do anything, be any one
get your mind undone, it’s a simple equation
and it’s a tiny spark
in the gasworks park

so early in the evenin’
we go walkin’ in the park in the evenin’
do a little talkin’ in the dark of the evenin’
just she and me
