lyrics
TRAPEZE
I put on my best dress
The one I can move in
Under the big top of the night
I climb up to the trapeze
I rub chalk on my fingertips
And I steady myself for flight
You're miles away on your swing
You glide toward me then fade back again
Breathe in in in
I'm flying through the air
No net below me
I can make it from here
If you reach out and catch me
It's so quiet
That I can hear the wind
My arms stretching and pulling me high
At the still point
I will release the bar
And we'll pass through the roof of the night
The big moon is in my eyes
Your hands stretch out to mine
Breathe in in in
I'm flying through the air
No net below me
I can make it from here
When you reach out and catch me
I put on my best dress
The one I can move in
Under the big top of the night
I climb up to the trapeze
I rub chalk on my fingertips
And I steady myself for flight
You're miles away on your swing
You glide toward me then fade back again
Breathe in in in
I'm flying through the air
No net below me
I can make it from here
If you reach out and catch me
It's so quiet
That I can hear the wind
My arms stretching and pulling me high
At the still point
I will release the bar
And we'll pass through the roof of the night
The big moon is in my eyes
Your hands stretch out to mine
Breathe in in in
I'm flying through the air
No net below me
I can make it from here
When you reach out and catch me
