Ian Foster - Foot of the Stairs lyrics

I'm standing at the foot of your stairs Feels like I've always been standing there My three-year-old coat on my arm And my two year old shoes still on Walking home past the peeling paint On razor-thin boards that separate A thousand stories of love and lust Scorching suns and ancient lust They bleed together in the morning's ecstasy Makes you close your eyes against impossible beauty So I just try to go back to sleep Where I've still got a hold of my dreams It's where I'm… Standing at the foot of your stairs And I'm watching it get dark out there I'm calling up to you It's the only left to do This city makes me a complicated sort of sad It's like a lover that I wished I'd had I used to flirt with her in my younger days But I wanted her to be the one who got away So that I could be… Standing at the foot of your stairs Starting to feel like I belong right here One day I'll come up and kiss your face See what you done with the place But until then, I'm… Standing at the foot of the stairs Standing at the foot of the stairs
