Nicky Holland - On the Stairs

All that goes on behind closed doors
Private lives and underworlds
Borderlines built by partition walls
Fourteen families fill each floor
You could meet me on the stairs
Hear their splintered conversations
Shadows and remnants
Resounding along the corridors

Chorus:
Block after block, street after street
Building to building their eyes never meet
Each life repeated layer upon layer
All comings and goings, all changes
Will pass by the stairs
On the stairs

You could meet me on the stairs
Hear their splintered conversations
Shadows and remnants
Resounding along the corridors

Chorus

Block after block, street after street
Building to building their eyes never meet
Each life repeated layer upon layer
All comings and goings, all changes, the future
All good news will pass by the stairs
Meet me on the stairs
