This Old Stairway
3, 4...
I'm flying back to the land
Where I came a boy and left a man
I'm driving down that Western Road
To the house I called my home
When they see my shadow on the floor
I'm scared they'll see the boy they knew before
And though they all will smile at me
I'm scared that they'll think differently
'Cause I'm the boy that walked out their door
Storey by storey we climb, dear
People get off on the way
Some people stay for a lifetime
Others for only a day...
On this old stairway
I've got so many memories
Of the many friends I used to see
I never see them in the street
They're miles away from where I sleep
Will they know the things that I have seen?
Will they view me how the did before I'd been?
I know they all will smile at me
But I'm scared they won't think differently
I'm not the boy they knew at sixteen
Storey by storey we climb, dear
People get off on the way
Some people stay for a lifetime
Others for only a day...
On this old stairway
Oh, I will tell you one thing
I never thought I would be leavin' so many people behind
But don't you worry, my boy
Though people won't always be waitin'
The future is yours to create!
And life can be yours for the taking!
So storey by storey we climb, dear
People get off on the way
Some people stay for a lifetime
Others for only a day
But don't you be tempted to climb back down...
From this old stairway...
