A Woman on a Stairway - John Foxx

Oh pull me up slowly

I’ve been running just too far again

I can never see the places where she stands

They’re always lost in some kind of rain

Oh turn around in the new pool

The colour rose, you learn the danger zones

Move all your life to the fiction of the pictures

And let regrets form a silhouette

A woman on a stairway

Dreaming and cool through all the storm of day

Oh I step in here sometimes

When I’ve been brushing off too many things

And all the rhythms of your manner and your voice

Gently focus and reflect everything I neglect

A woman on a stairway

Twisting the light, rolling the time away

I’ve been walking through too many rooms

And all the spirals in the heart and the hands

Always lead to places better left as a silhouette

A woman on a stairway

Dreaming and cool through all the storm of day

A woman on a stairway

Beautiful light, rolling the veils away
