Three Flights Up

We returned to that five room flat

Now it was empty and this the last time

Ther were blinking pictures

Of how we'd sit and chat

Some of them are scattered

Others shattered in my mind

Chorus:

It was always three flights up

Cathedral bells kept time

In the winter, a-chatterin' cold

While the building shook like rage**** in the wind

Stories from the heat pipes

We were told

But now they only leave me

With a half-enchanted grin

Chorus

Bridge:

Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view

And towels warmed on oven doors

To not freeze

Was the only thing to do

I wonder if we kept to the fair warning

'Cause I can see it in the flowers

Dyin' on the window sil

I know we must be out by tommorow mornin'

But am I goin' 'gainst my will

Chorus

Bridge

Repeat last verse

Chorus
