Down The Backstairs Of My Life

(album: Breakwater Cat - 1980)

As you leave please tiptoe
Down the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
Everything is all you ever meant and said to me
Meant and said to me

Now, could you live with all the hurt and pain and tears again
Yesterday should be a song for the years refrain
Mhm, vacant vessel me, I've given all I've been, outpoured
Ooh, I've been poured out
So as you leave, please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life

'Cause when you leave, you've taken all of my dreams outside my door
And my twisted heart keeps on crying for more and more encore
In the darkness now, all I can see is, where we've been
Oh, where we've been
So as you leave, please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
