Lyrics I Remember Me - Silver Jews

I Remember Me

He almost walked into a wall
Oh, man, she was a sight to see
And 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
And they slow danced so the needle wouldn’t skip
Until the room was filled with light
And 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 waterslide in Chattanooga
They did not hide from love, you see
A winter’s plane flight to Aruba
Where he threw a boombox into the sea
One day, they were cutting flowers for something to do
On the bank of the road 'neath the cotton woods
And he turned to her to ask if she’d marry him
When a runaway truck hit him where he stood
