Griffin, Patty - Trapeze Lyrics






Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
Just overhead on the old trapeze
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
One of these nights the old girl's going down
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down

She started with us on the back of a horse
Just seventeen and already divorced
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze

Some people don't care if they live or they die
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
Gather their courage and they give it a try

Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
After that her heart never ached again
After that her heart never ached again

Some poeple don't care if they live or they die
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
Gather their courage and they give it a try
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by

Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
Just overhead on the old trapeze
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
Halle- Halle- Halle-
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah

    There is not music that could possibly have comforted me more during VERY hard times. But I love Harmony & Minstrals & Muses. Top of the line to me. Thanks.

    Patty and Emmylou. I've heard it a hundred times and it always brings a tear.

  5. R.... L....

    Who gave the down vote?!?  What's wrong with you?

    R.... L....

    +Roy Lay  There are some strange folk who have no idea of beauty when it smacks them in the face....  That, or they're deaf.

    R.... L....

    Roy Lay i am convinced there are people who go to songs arbitrarily and down vote songs without listening to them.... just gotta share their unhappiness with the rest of the digital world....

    R.... L....

    Maybe they hit the wrong button for whatever reason.
