《The Trapeze Swinger》歌词

[00:00:00] The Trapeze Swinger - Iron & Wine (铁与酒乐团)

[00:00:54] Please remember me happily

[00:01:02] By the rosebush laughing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:06] Had some eloquent graffiti

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:00] Around the Holy Kingdom

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:07:41] Nah nah nah

[00:07:46] Nah nah nah

[00:07:49] Nah nah nah
