Silver Jews - I Remember Me lyrics

He almost walked into a wall Oh man she was a sight to see At the party down the hall He said "you are the highest apple in the tree" Out the window in the harbor he saw a little ship The moon was worn just slightly on the right They slow-danced so the needle wouldn't skip And he held her till the room was filled with light I remember you and I remember me The sunshine walking inside you/and the man you could see in me. So I remember me and I remember you So many beautiful days in a row now and the nights were perfect too Hand in hand down a water slide in Chattanooga They did not hide from love you see A winter's plane flight to Aruba Where he threw a boom box into the sea. One day they were cutting flowers for something to do On the bank of the road 'neath the cottonwoods He turned o her to ask if she'd marry him When a runaway truck hit him where he stood. So I remember you and I remember you And I remember you do-do-do-do-do And I remember me and I remember me A blackhalk nailed to the sky/and the tape hiss from the trees. Everybody said she needed to move on That he was all but lost so deep was his coma. When he finally came to, the girl he loved was long gone. She'd married a banker and moved to Oklahoma. He bought a little land with the money from the settlement And he even bought the truck that had hit him that day He touched the part where the metal was bent. And if you were there you would hear him say. I remember her and I remember him I remember them and I remember then.. I'm just rememberin' I'm just rememberin'
