Doubting Paris

Third Floor

Doubting Paris


on the third floor 
your daughter and I rent the suite below 
where the elevator won't reach 
where we used to meet and talk over laundry 
and talk over laundry 

remember the days on Nora lane 

where angles crawl through empty halls 
and tears they touch the stairs above 
between the cracks and reach us here below 

what have I got now 
the shirts to big and the shoes don't fit 
was she ever in my hands 
or was it something in my head 

remember the days on Nora lane 
remember the places we used to live 

where angels crawl through emty halls 
and tears they touch the stairs above 
between the cracks and reach us here below 

now she waits by the door 
we'll take the stairs that bring us home 
watch the sun go down 
watch the sun go down from the third floor 

remeber the days on Nora lane 
remeber the places we used to live 

where angles crawl through empty halls 
and tears they touch the stairs above 
between the cracks and reach us here below 
so beautiful to hear the sound when angels crawl 
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there 
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there 
it lets me know that in between this distance your still there
