Gord Downie
Swing Set
[Intro]
We were at
The swing set
‘Now?' I asked
‘Not yet,' you said

[Verse 1]
Turnin' round and round in my seat
Chains chiming over my head
When the tension is complete
And there is no way out of it

[Chorus 1]
‘Now?'
‘Not yet.'
‘Now?'
‘Not yet.'

[Verse 2]
Over the rise on the lawn
Someone draggin' someone
The kid looking me in the eye
Teacher not looking at anyone

[Chorus 2]
‘Now?'
‘Now! Yes!'
‘Now?'
‘Now! Yes!'
[Verse 3]
I looked behind me only once
Didn't see nobody chasin' us
Just my swing dancin' in the sun
Dancin' wildly where it was

[Chorus 3]
‘Now.'
‘Now, yes.'
‘Now.'
‘Now, yes.'

[Outro]
Now, yes
Now, yes
Now, yes
Now, yes
