MUSIC FOR SALE

I'm not stalking, you don't know I'm there
You never see me, you’re not aware
Two flights of stair a laundry room we share
You never see me, you’re not aware

Heard you crying but no one was there
I wanted to climb so we could share
The sadness and noise too much to bear
As I listened at the bottom of the stair

Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
Knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame

Shouldn’t be alone this time of year
It's a time for giving, for love and cheer.
Maybe I will risk climbing the stair
You never know you just might care.

Two of a kind a straight pair
Means nothing if I don't dare
Confess all and bring my soul to bare
When I get round to it will you be there?

Running out of time it's the end of a year
For auld lang syne not singing here
Maybe it's timing or plain fear
Stops me calling from the bottom of the stair

Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame

Once the stranger that slept on the chair
Ten years later I'm back sleeping there
If only you would help me fight this despair
I think I could defeat this old chair

I'm sorry for this moment I do declare
Sorry for the chair and I'm sorry for the stair
But it's too late now because you’re not there
Gone with another and it's more than I can bare

As I leave this world without a son and heir
It was all my fault don't blame the chair
Let things get in the way especially the stair
I have to go know I've got to be there.

Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame

Another place awaits me a new stair
Which way will it be going who will be there?
One thing’s for certain they'll be sat in a chair
Two of a kind but a different pair.

Will I be judged for my courage or my cold fear?
For loneliness with you or too much beer
I'm sorry I didn't get around to fixing your chair
Who knows you may have ventured down the stair?

It would have helped you being there
A chat or two would of help me prepare
The fate that awaits me at the bottom of my stair
My advice as I go is avoid the chair and drink tea.

Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame
