Marble Steps Lyrics - Trouble - Bonnie Mckee

I climb the marble stairs that lead away 

Away from everything I used to know 

I try to keep my eyes down on the way 

The way my mother told me not to go 

Well all I ever wanted was 

A hand to hold me down 

To keep the sky from swallowing me up 

And all I ever needed was someone to come around 

And tell me that I've suffered long enough 

So take me away 

Find me a home 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I wonder when I'll see the stars again 

I thought that they had faded long ago 

With every step I'm closer to the end 

I'm climbing 'cause I don't know where to go 

Well all I ever wanted was 

A place to store my faith 

I thought that I could keep it locked away 

It burns my eyes to look at him 

And see the truth inside 

And so I turn my broken face away 

So take me away 

Find me a home 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I always dreamed of Sundays together with you 

Only your echoes can break my heart 

I need a hand to hold me, to keep me on land 

I fear I'm drifting too far apart 

Well all I ever wanted was 

A hand to hold me down 

To keep the sky from swallowing me up 

And all I ever needed was someone to come around 

And tell me that I've suffered long enough 

Oh, take me away 

Find me a home 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

On my way 

I'm on my way 

And now I'm gone 

I'm gone 

I'm on my way
