Trapeze Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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

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
