The Stairs |
| She looks at the clock it’s a quarter past nine |
| She hears his car as he pulls in the drive |
| Dinner’s still waiting from hours before |
| She knows he’s been drinking when he walks through the door |
| In anger he strikes out and she starts to cry |
| How much more can she take how much more can she lie |
| And she fell down the stair again but it hasn’t happened since she don’t know |
| when |
| Was it in spring when she packed up the kids |
| Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids |
| Oh but just like before she’ll have to pretend that she fell down the stairs |
| again |
| A short time ago she started a job serving chicken fried steak and corn on the |
| cob |
| She started out shy but she ended up sure |
| That a ticket to anywhere could be the cure |
| But he couldn’t handle her change for the better |
| She tried to leave him but he wouldn’t let her |
| He says he’s sorry he’d never mean it he swears it won’t happen again |
| But she’s so confused she wants to believe it she just wants this nightmare to end |
| And she fell down the stair again… |
| Just like before she’ll have to pretend that she fell down the stairs again |
