Three Flights Up - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
We returned to that five room flat[00:00:09]
Now it was empty and this the last time[00:00:13]
There were blinking pictures[00:00:17]
Of how we'd sit and chat[00:00:20]
Some of them are scattered[00:00:22]
Others shattered in my mind[00:00:24]
It was always three flights up[00:00:27]
Cathedral bells kept time[00:00:32]
In the winter a-chattering cold[00:00:37]
While the building shook like rageweed in the wind[00:00:42]
Stories from the heat pipes[00:00:46]
We were told[00:00:49]
Now they only leave me[00:00:50]
With a half-enchanted grin[00:00:52]
It was always three flights up[00:00:55]
Cathedral bells kept time[00:01:00]
Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view[00:01:06]
And towels warmed on oven doors[00:01:15]
To not freeze[00:01:18]
Was the only thing to do[00:01:20]
I wonder if we kept to the fair warning[00:01:22]
See it in the flowers[00:01:26]
Dying on the window sil[00:01:28]
I know we must be out by tommorow morning[00:01:31]
But am I going 'gainst my will[00:01:37]
It was always three flights up[00:01:40]
Cathedral bells kept time[00:01:45]
Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view[00:02:14]
Towels warmed down on oven doors[00:02:22]
To not freeze[00:02:25]
Was the only thing to do[00:02:27]
I wonder if we kept to the fair warning[00:02:29]
'Cause I can see it in the flowers[00:02:33]
Dying on the window sil[00:02:36]
I know we must be out by tommorow morning[00:02:38]
But am I going 'gainst my will[00:02:44]
It was always three flights up[00:02:48]
Cathedral bells kept time[00:02:52]
It was always three flights up[00:02:56]
Cathedral bells kept time[00:03:00]
