Third Floor
(Doubting Paris)
on the third floor
your daughter and I rent the suite below
where the elevator won’t reach
where we used to meet and talk over laundry
and talk over laundry
remember the days on Nora lane
where angles crawl through empty halls
and tears they touch the stairs above
between the cracks and reach us here below
what have I got now
the shirts to big and the shoes don’t fit
was she ever in my hands
or was it something in my head
remember the days on Nora lane
remember the places we used to live
where angels crawl through emty halls
and tears they touch the stairs above
between the cracks and reach us here below
now she waits by the door
we’ll take the stairs that bring us home
watch the sun go down
watch the sun go down from the third floor
remeber the days on Nora lane
remeber the places we used to live
where angles crawl through empty halls
and tears they touch the stairs above
between the cracks and reach us here below
so beautiful to hear the sound when angels crawl
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there
