Blackstairs — Clannad

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
