Lyrics
ah, talking to stairways again
ah, talking to stairways again
She come talking to you
she let you know she got got things to do
down on the boardwalk
the wind is blowing
she she got things to do
she got things to do
she knows you watch her walk away
she knows, she says, what you're gonna say
I found a friend I never knew before
I found a friend
maybe we'll meet on that other shore
I took my baby
down to the river yeah
told her all the things I wanted to
she say she say she say
that's not what she want to do
down
down by the river yeah
wind is blowin
she come creeping she got got
things to do
I'm talking to stairways
she said "who you think you're talking to?"
she knows you watch her walk away
she knows, she says, what you're gonna say
I found a friend I never knew before
I found a friend
maybe we'll meet on that other shore, other shore
ah, talking to stairways again
ah, talking to stairways again
ah, talking to stairways again
