Season of the Fair Lyrics

Will you remember me every season of the fair?
Will you remember how your stormy face was tangled in my hair?
Though the carnival life gonna always shine, you can't turn back the time
So, will you save a place for me in your dreams tonight?

Well, I know where you're going, baby, I know where you been
I know what you're thinkin' when you don't say what you mean
When the first breath of June comes to fill my empty arms
To brighten up your shadow in the winter of my heart
To find me where the balmy weather catches me off guard


Will you remember me every season of the fair?
Will you remember how your stormy face was tangled in my hair?
Though the carnival life gonna always shine, you can't turn back the time
So, will you save a place for me in your dreams tonight?

Well I know what you said to me, I know the words so well
They echo on inside of me like pennies in a well
And I wonder, does she take you to that high summer place
Does she trace my kisses on the parchment of your face?
They linger there like sugar should you ever need a taste

Will you remember me?

I walk the streets inside your head like I own every house
I keep your secrets faithfully, just let them on the scalp
And I'm peerin' in the window, lookin' for a place to sleep
I capture my reflection, wipe a tear across my sleeve
I'll give up the ghost at most, will you remember me?

Every season of the fair
Will you remember how your stormy face was tangled in my hair?
Though the carnival life gonna always shine, you can't turn back the time
So will you save a place for me in your dreams tonight?
Will you save a place for me in your dreams tonight?

Maria McKee (born Maria Louise McKee, on August 17, 1964 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer and songwriter. She is best known for her work with Lone Justice and for her 1990 UK solo chart-topping hit, "Show Me Heaven". In 1986, she wrote Feargal Sharkey's UK number one hit 'A Good Heart'.

McKee is the half-sister of Love guitarist Bryan MacLean, with whom she played in a duo as a teenager. In 1982 McKee was a founding member of the cowpunk/country rock band Lone Justice with whom she released two albums. Her band opened for such acts as U2.

She released her first solo, self-titled album in 1989. Her song "Show Me Heaven", which appeared on the soundtrack to the film Days of Thunder, was a number one single in the United Kingdom for four weeks in 1990. Later her eerie, country-tinged single, "If Love Is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags)" was released on the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction. (1994).

Her recorded output has varied between the rootsy country-folk of You Gotta Sin To Get Saved (1993) and Peddlin' Dreams (2005), and experimental rock on Life Is Sweet (1996) and High Dive (2003). She even made a foray into early-90s dance music with her "Sweetest Child" single.

Life Is Sweet was seen at the time as an artistic about-face from her country-rock sound, full of guitar feedback and complex, baroque songwriting. Confounding both fans and critics, it was her last release for seven years and her last for a major label.

In 2007 she released Late December, an album rooted in classic 60s pop songwriting.

She is the half-sister of Love guitarist/singer/songwriter Bryan Maclean, with whom she played in a duo as a teenager. In the nineties, she spent time living in Dublin and the East Village.
