In Good Company movie - Trapeze Swinger lyrics

rate me

Song by Iron & Wine<br /><br>

Please, remember me<br>

Happily<br>

By the rosebush laughing<br>

With bruises on my chin<br>

The time when<br>

We counted every black car passing<br>

Your house beneath the hill<br>

And up until<br>

Someone caught us in the kitchen<br>

With maps, a mountain range,<br>

A piggy bank<br>

A vision too removed to mention<br>

But<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

Fondly<br>

I heard from someone you're still pretty<br>

And then<br>

They went on to say<br>

That the pearly gates<br>

Had some eloquent graffiti<br>

Like 'We'll meet again'<br>

And 'Fuck the man'<br>

And 'Tell my mother not to worry'<br>

And angels with their gray<br>

Handshakes<br>

Were always done in such a hurry<br>

And<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

At Halloween<br>

Making fools of all the neighbors<br>

Our faces painted white<br>

By midnight<br>

We'd forgotten one another<br>

And when the morning came<br>

I was ashamed<br>

Only now it seems so silly<br>

That season left the world<br>

And then returned<br>

And now you're lit up by the city<br>

So<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

Mistakenly<br>

In the window of the tallest tower call<br>

Then pass us by<br>

But much too high<br>

To see the empty road at happy hour<br>

Leave and resonate<br>

Just like the gates<br>

Around the holy kingdom<br>

With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'<br>

And 'Someone Save Temptation'<br>

And<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

As in the dream<br>

We had as rug-burned babies<br>

Among the fallen trees<br>

And fast asleep<br>

Aside the lions and the ladies<br>

That called you what you like<br>

And even might<br>

Give a gift for your behavior<br>

A fleeting chance to see<br>

A trapeze<br>

Swing as high as any savior<br>

But<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

My misery<br>

And how it lost me all I wanted<br>

Those dogs that love the rain<br>

And chasing trains<br>

The colored birds above there running<br>

In circles round the well<br>

And where it spells<br>

On the wall behind St. Peter's<br>

So bright with cinder gray<br>

And spray paint<br>

'Who the hell can see forever?'<br>

And<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

Seldomly<br>

In the car behind the carnival<br>

My hand between your knees<br>

You turn from me<br>

And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful<br>

But never meant to last'<br>

The clown that passed<br>

Saw me just come up with anger<br>

When it filled with circus dogs<br>

The parking lot<br>

Had an element of danger<br>

So<br>

<br>

Please, remember me<br>

Finally<br>

And all my uphill clawing<br>

My dear<br>

But if i make<br>

The pearly gates<br>

Do my best to make a drawing<br>

Of G-d and Lucifer<br>

A boy and girl<br>

An angel kissin on a sinner<br>

A monkey and a man<br>

A marching band<br>

All around the frightened trapeze swingers<br>

<br>

Na-na<br>

Na-na-na<br>

Na-na<br>

Na-na...<br>

<br>
