The Girl Who Falls Downstairs - Tom McRae

She says

I know your face

But something’s strange

In your eyes

Your voice I know so well

Your words I don’t

Recognise

And darkness creeps

Borne on cold winds

Blows my footprints away

And I see myself

Turn into something else

Turn into someone else

For a while

And I know I’m right

Running into this night

Running another dream to the ground

The girl who falls down stairs

She calls my name

Through the air

She says I loved you once

I’d love you again

If you dare

So wipe the sleep from tiger eyes

And put this moment aside

And I see myself

Turn into something else

Turn into someone else

For a while

And I know I’m right

Running into this night

Running another dream to the ground

Needles buzz like

Neon light and

I am stained by

This town

And all my faith gone

All maps welcome

The stairs have twisted around

And I see myself

Turn into something else

Turn into someone else

For a while

And I know I’m right

Running into this night

Running another dream to the ground

Pull me out

Pull me out

Pull me out
