Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Bloedow, Charles
[00:08.83] In the hall lights flicker hum
[00:13.33] With her buckles still undone
[00:16.77] She hides beneath her blue trench coat
[00:21.03] Gaze so soft, yet so remote
[00:25.38] In that dusty uniform
[00:29.21] The outline of her lovely form
[00:33.19] And more than once I've brushed her hand
[00:37.45] Passing on the stairs
[00:43.83] In the hall lights flicker hum
[00:47.81] His dark lashes always hung
[00:51.91] With a look so weary and so wise
[00:56.06] When he passes he gentley sighs
[01:00.19] In his work-worn boots he leans
[01:04.21] And I wonder what it means
[01:08.44] Whatever does it mean
[01:12.73] Passing on the stairs
[01:18.85] Up the stairs every night
[01:22.95] Up the stairs seven flights
[01:27.06] And down she goes into the night
[01:31.25] Down my stairs and out of sight
[01:38.56] Who is she with that misty look
[01:42.49] Every night a different book
[01:46.49] With the scent of violets in her hair
[01:50.78] Who's this angel on my stairs
[01:54.91] A distant time comes back to me
[01:58.88] The wild reeds, the salty sea
[02:03.08] My father calling 'don't go far
[02:07.12] I gathered sea glass in a jar
[02:11.26] And built a castle with a mote
[02:15.37] As the wind blew sand into my hair
[02:19.37] In the rustling of your over coat
[02:23.71] Passing on the stairs
[02:29.99] Up the stairs every night
[02:34.17] Up the stairs seven flights
[02:38.28] And down she goes into the night
[02:42.49] Down my stairs and out of sight
[03:01.98] And I wonder if she thinks of me
[03:06.01] Is it just a boyish fantasy
[03:10.13] Speak dear lady wont you speak
[03:14.27] Can't you tell you make me meek
[03:19.02] So in silence once more we pass
[03:22.64] Another night I walk on glass
[03:26.65] And I dream that she thinks of me
[03:30.68] Passing on the stairs
[03:36.92] And I wonder if he thinks of me
[03:41.05] If this could be our destiny
[03:45.46] Oh haven't you a word for me
[03:49.38] If only you'd misplace your key
[03:53.54] So in silence once more we pass
[03:58.08] Another night I walk on glass
[04:01.67] And how I dream he thinks of me
[04:05.69] And our passing on the stairs
[04:12.41] Up the stairs every night
[04:16.19] Up he climbs seven flights
[04:20.48] And down she goes into the night
[04:24.80] Down my stairs and out of sight
[04:31.82] Up the stairs every night
[04:35.84] Up the stairs seven flights
[04:40.09] And down she goes into the night
[04:44.20] Down my stairs and out of sight
[04:51.51] Down my stairs and out of sight
