Gord Downie - Swing Set Lyrics






We were at
The swing set
'Now?' I asked
'Not yet.' You said
Turnin' round and round in my seat
Chains chiming over my head
When the tension is complete
And there is no way out of it
'Now?'
'Not yet.'
'Now?'
'Not yet.'
Over the rise on the lawn
Someone dragging someone
The kid looking me in the eye
Teacher not looking at anyone
'Now?'
'Now! Yes!'
'Now?'
'Now! Yes!'

I looked behind me only once
Didn't see nobody chasin' us
Just my swing dancing in the sun
Dancing wildly where it was
'Now.'
'Now, yes.'
'Now.'
'Now, yes.'

Now, yes...

    This song is so emotional, you could just feel him singing his heart out without actually seeing him sing. Then way he sung, just told the whole story, and you don't even have to look anything up. That's just how talented of a singer he was.
