20 Steps - MarieMarie

The smell of old walls

And a familiar scent

A flowery sweet

Washing detergent

Pictures of my mother

Who never told a lie?

Never said goodbye

Never cried

Five

Six

Seven

How many steps to heaven?

Step by step

Lift up your head

Can’t seem to think of

Something with meaning

Something important

Voidness is streaming

Implacably, violently

Into my head

All for nothing

All for nothing

Nine

Ten

Eleven

How many steps to heaven?

Step by step

Lift up your head

Twelve

Thirteen

Fourteen

Always unforseen

Step by step

Lift up your head

The old wood is creaking

And moaning and screaming

Under the weight of the truth of the moment

Please let me awake in a white linen bed

Shades half open and sunlight gleaming

Fifteen

Sixteen

Seventeen

Dream on dream

Step by step

Lift up your head

Eighteen

Nineteen

Twenty

Twenty steps to heaven

Step by step

This is where I let

Let Go!!!

(Lift up your head)

(Your head)
