Lyrics
The Flying Wallendas Triumph again To the roar of our fantasy crowd I remember her hands Slipping through mine The blood and her tears On the hard frozen ground For our album covers She never once smiled Everyone thought She was depressed But I knew the truth It wasn't her mind It was the tooth Of a flightless Wallenda. ? Whiskey and ice On a warm summer day A bead of condensation Forms and falls From the end of the glass Onto the carpet below. Her head on my shoulder She started to cry A single tear poised On the tip of her nose I kissed her and said "I'll always be there to watch over you". Knowing, even then, it was a lie. Only in the past Can we discover The present. Our future returns To unearth The artifacts. How people must have lived In this place With these things. Strange yet familiar Forever retracing The invisible outline below. ? Amidst the noises Of water and china She sings, under her breath The record sounds different The production is dated But the core of her voice remains. She steps out of her shoes Slips her arms around my neck And we dance It is familiar, yet strange To be on this side We never danced up on stage But now here we are Dancing together, turning slowly In the darkening parlor of our past.
