lyrics

Stairs

When I think back now
Those stairs were the lifeblood
The beating heart
Of my family home

Second only to
The kitchen table
Where conversation
Was tangled threads out of control

Twenty-something years
Life goes up, goes down them
Sometimes I trip, I stumble
But I don’t fall

In sleeping bags as kids
We would slide down them
It’s a wonder that I survived
Those stairs at all

If I could climb them now
I’d climb them all the way up to you
And I would tell you all about
How we’re all doing now
And how we pass the days
It’s funny but I guess life goes on somehow

When I’m in doubt
I let my feet go walking
Somehow time again
I end up at Bracken Road

I stare up as all the memories
Echo through me
Like pouring sand
I cannot grab a hold

I recall you loved
The view outside your bedroom
High amongst the Birch
You made your home

If I could climb them now
I’d climb them all the way up to you
And I would tell you all about
How we’re all doing now
And how we pass the days
It’s funny but I guess life goes on somehow

And when one day
I have a house to call my own
A warm and loving home
When I quit this life of roaming around

If I could climb them now
I’d climb them all the way up to you
And I would ask you all about
How we’re all doing now
And how we pass the days
It’s funny but I guess life goes on somehow
It’s funny but I guess life goes on somehow
