Trapeze Lyrics


I'll never tell you what I saw
or how it made me breathe
I'll never repeat what I heard
how long it took me to leave
I'll never tell you what I saw
or how it made my smile freeze
'cause this world is a whirlwind
but I'm holding the trapeze
and I'll never tell you what I saw
I'll never tell you who I loved
or how they made me free
I'll never tell you how I slept
back when I was fifteen
I thought that I could just forget
the bricks that have built me
but this world is a whirlwind
and I'm holding the trapeze
and I'll never tell you who I loved

but if I could tell you one thing
I would tell you I'm not leaving
if I could show you one thing
oh my mistakes have shaped me
into who I am, and who I am
just wants to make you home
I'll never tell you why I drive
into the night and back again
I hardly speak of my hometown
my little hands in the cement
I'll never tell you what I saw
close the door, swallow the key
but this world is whirlwind
and I'm holding the trapeze
yeah this world keeps on turning
love is carried endlessly
yeah this world is a whirlwind
and I'm holding the trapeze
so I'll never tell you what I saw

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Tammys were an American girl group made up of sisters Gretchen and Cathy Owens and their friend Linda Jones. The girls first met Lou Christie in 1961 at a concert where he was performing in the band Lugee and The Lions. A year later Lou hit it big with his single "The Gypsy Cried" and he brought the girls in to sing backup for him. He also signed them to a contract with United Artists and they recorded three singles. Despite local airplay, the weepy "Take Back Your Ring", the sweet "Gypsy" and the absolutely insane "Egyptian Shumba" all failed to chart nationally throughout 1963-1964.
