Blackstairs Lyrics - Clannad

Cold, blue 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 like 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 go up there 

And live on the blackstairs 

Yes, you must be one of those girls 

Who live on the blackstairs
