trapeze swinger

One, two
One, two, three, four

Please remember me, happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin, the time when
We counted every car passing
Your house beneath the hill and up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But, please remember me

Please remember me
Fondly, I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like "we will meet again"
And "tell my mother not to worry"
"The angels with their great handshakes
Will always done in such a hurry" (hurry)

Please remember me, at Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white, by midnight
We forgotten one another

And when the morning came, I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
The season left the world and then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So please remember me (remember me)

Please remember me as in a dream
We had as ruged as babies
Among the fallen trees and fast asleep
Aside the lions and the ladies

That called you what you like and even might
Give a gift for your behavior
A fleeting chance to see a trapeze
Swing as high as any saviour (my saviour)

Please remember me, finally
And all my uphill crawling
My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates
Do my best to make a drawing

Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl
An angel kissin' on a sinner
A monkey and a man, a marching band
All around the frightened trapeze
All around the frightened trapeze swinger (trapeze swinger)
