Stairs |
| Every now and again when the world seems blue |
| And all of the trials there disappear in you |
| They say that there’s a way to get across the bridge |
| But I wouldn’t be standing here upon this ridge |
| If I thought that I knew |
| That the way to get across to you |
| Was this high and winding stair — I’d be there |
| I saw the destiny of nations on TV |
| I didn’t want to miss it so I didn’t go to sleep |
| It really was exciting when the whole world turned to rust |
| But I wouldn’t be human and made out of this dust |
| You hold me very closely as we walk along the sand |
| You tell me that you’ll meet me where the water meets the land |
| I know I ain’t the only one to feel so minute |
| But I wouldn’t be standing here looking so cute |
| There will be time enough for sorrow |
| I’ll be there, I’ll be there |
| Yesterday’s gone until tommorow |
| I don’t care, I don’t care |
| Ever since the world began and back before that too |
| You took me in your confidence and told me I was you |
| It just seems kind of funny now to wlak along the path |
| And I wouldn’t be standing here about to laugh |
