Three Steps Down

Three steps down below the city streets In our private room, the colour all runs out An' not a sound, the smoke curls in the air An' I can feel a sliding peace, come over me tonight Dead or dancin', cross the room The candles burn and shadows loom I hide below it all Or heaven's underground The clouds are fallin' at our feet Three steps down below the street So comin' down: it's like water after wine Oh, comin' down a long hard line An' I know better's gettin' harder all the time From three steps down From three steps down Dead or dancin', cross the room The candles burn and shadows loom I hide below it all Or heaven's underground The clouds are fallin' at our feet Three steps down below the street
