Lady Lamb - Regarding Ascending the Stairs lyrics
[Lady Lamb - Regarding Ascending the Stairs lyrics]
I cannot think of that song
With this music on
And I never want to go back to Arkansas
Even if you've gone from there
Even if you've gone
You handled me like an infant skull
And I cradled you like a newborn nightmare
And I always long, long to go back there
Straight back down the hallway
And up the stairs to that bed
I asked the deer, could the hunter she hear
Come a-creepin', creepin', creepin'
Creepin'?
I whispered in her ear so sweet and sincere
But she was already dead asleep in
The ground where she lay was red
Sour and stained
And I kissed her, kissed her
Kissed her before I turned away
And I never want to go back there
Down the path to the place where she lay
We can close our eyes and cry out to
The darkness that there is still
This light in us there is this fight to find
Right where we belong
This ribcage, it is a staircase, climb
Climb it to my
Iris, you can live there, you know who I am
You know who I am i am your apple
So open up the book and read
To me your favorite passage
And know that I will be right here
And I will listen
I hear you, and I have heard you
For a thousand years
With this music on
And I never want to go back to Arkansas
Even if you've gone from there
Even if you've gone
You handled me like an infant skull
And I cradled you like a newborn nightmare
And I always long, long to go back there
Straight back down the hallway
And up the stairs to that bed
I asked the deer, could the hunter she hear
Come a-creepin', creepin', creepin'
Creepin'?
I whispered in her ear so sweet and sincere
But she was already dead asleep in
The ground where she lay was red
Sour and stained
And I kissed her, kissed her
Kissed her before I turned away
And I never want to go back there
Down the path to the place where she lay
We can close our eyes and cry out to
The darkness that there is still
This light in us there is this fight to find
Right where we belong
This ribcage, it is a staircase, climb
Climb it to my
Iris, you can live there, you know who I am
You know who I am i am your apple
So open up the book and read
To me your favorite passage
And know that I will be right here
And I will listen
I hear you, and I have heard you
For a thousand years
