The Trapeze Swinger - Iron & Wine[00:00:00]

Please remember me happily[00:00:54]

By the rosebush laughing[00:01:02]

With bruises on my chin the time when[00:01:06]

We counted every black car passing[00:01:15]

Your house beneath the hill and up until[00:01:18]

Someone caught us in the kitchen[00:01:27]

With maps a mountain range a piggy bank[00:01:32]

A vision too removed to mention[00:01:40]

But please remember me fondly[00:01:44]

I heard from someone you're still pretty[00:01:53]

And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates[00:01:57]

Had some eloquent graffiti[00:02:06]

Like 'We'll meet again' and 'F**k the man'[00:02:10]

And 'Tell my mother not to worry'[00:02:18]

And angels with their great handshakes[00:02:22]

But always done in such a hurry[00:02:31]

And please remember me at Halloween[00:02:35]

Making fools of all the neighbors[00:02:44]

Our faces painted white by midnight[00:02:48]

We'd forgotten one another[00:02:57]

And when the morning came I was ashamed[00:03:00]

Only now it seems so silly[00:03:09]

That season left the world and then returned[00:03:13]

And now you're lit up by the city[00:03:22]

So please remember me mistakenly[00:03:26]

In the window of the tallest tower[00:03:35]

Call then pass us by but much too high[00:03:39]

To see the empty road at happy hour[00:03:47]

Gleam and resonate just like the gates[00:03:52]

Around the Holy Kingdom[00:04:00]

With words like 'Lost and found' and 'Don't look down[00:04:04]

And 'Someone save temptation'[00:04:13]

And please remember me as in the dream[00:04:17]

We had as rug burned babies[00:04:25]

Among the fallen trees and fast asleep[00:04:29]

Beside the lions and the ladies[00:04:38]

That called you what you like and even might[00:04:42]

Give a gift for your behavior[00:04:51]

A fleeting chance to see a trapeze[00:04:55]

Swinger high as any savior[00:05:04]

But please remember me my misery[00:05:08]

And how it lost me all I wanted[00:05:16]

Those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains[00:05:20]

The colored birds above there running[00:05:29]

In circles round the well and where it spells[00:05:33]

On the wall behind St Peter[00:05:42]

So bright on cinder gray in spray paint[00:05:46]

Who the hell can see forever [00:05:55]

And please remember me seldomly[00:05:59]

In the car behind the carnival[00:06:07]

My hand between your knees you turn from me[00:06:11]

And said the trapeze act was wonderful[00:06:20]

But never meant to last the clowns that passed[00:06:24]

Saw me just come up with anger[00:06:33]

When it filled with circus dogs the parking lot[00:06:37]

Had an element of danger[00:06:46]

So please remember me finally[00:06:49]

And all my uphill clawing[00:06:58]

My dear but if I make the Pearly Gates[00:07:02]

I'll do my best to make a drawing[00:07:11]

Of God and Lucifer a boy and girl[00:07:15]

An angel kissing on a sinner[00:07:23]

A monkey and a man a marching band[00:07:28]

All around the frightened trapeze swinger[00:07:36]

Nah nah nah[00:07:41]

Nah nah nah[00:07:46]

Nah nah nah[00:07:49]
