Celtis Carr - Footsteps In The Hall Lyrics
Woke up late in the afternoon Sat up straight and rubbed my raccoon eyes Only to find the sun stopped shining down I saw the moon rise Bobby got killed last Saturday night And to most of us, it still hadn't sank in Except to Annie, his bride-to-be well she sank into a bottle of gin Still waiting for the cavalry to call, living like a refugee Still listening for the footsteps in the hall, when she comes back home to me Crawled to my feet and grabbed my shoes I was still in my clothes from the night before Walked through the house, it was empty and cold The floorboards creaked as I opened up the front door Stepped outside and was mystified by the countryside, it seemed so out of place Cause everywhere I looked, the only thing I could see was her face Still standing underneath the waterfall, trying to fill a cup of tea Still listening for the footsteps in the hall, when she comes back home to me If time slowed down I could understand How a breath of air is like a grain of sand And why it takes so long to make love last, no matter how well it's planned Given the time, the friends I left behind would surely disappear And I'll wake up once more on the bedroom floor, the way I've done after all of these years Still pounding wooden nails in the wall, still gonna paint my masterpiece Still listening for the footsteps in the hall, when she comes back home to me
