Clannad - Blackstairs lyrics

Colder eyes, they look through me

Stare those eyes at me

You must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

Yes, you must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

There's no disguise upon your face

You're not like anyone I know

They give so freely and they come when I come out

But you're the one, the one I want to understand

You must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

Yes, you must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

You're not scared, no, you don't answer

You just stand there, face the stairs going home

If I could choose my own way down

I'd take the road to the blackstairs

You must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

Sadness raging in the broken man

Stays until the day ends

When he is free to think of better days again

Looks the scales of love and time are all the same

You must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs

And I long to up there

And live on the blackstairs

Yes, you must be one of those girls

Who live on the blackstairs
