Marble Steps

Bonnie McKee

I climb the marble stairs that lead away

Away from everything I used to know

I try to keep my eyes down on the way

The way my mother told me not to go



Well all I ever wanted was

A hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I've suffered long enough



So take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my way



I wonder when I'll see the stars again

I thought that they had faded long ago

With every step I'm closer to the end

I'm climbing 'cause I don't know where to go



Well all I ever wanted was

A place to store my faith

I thought that I could keep it locked away

It burns my eyes to look at him

And see the truth inside

And so I turn my broken face away



So take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my way



I always dreamed of Sundays together with you

Only your echoes can break my heart

I need a hand to hold me, to keep me on land

I fear I'm drifting too far apart



Well all I ever wanted was

A hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I've suffered long enough



Oh, take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my way



I'm on my way

On my way

I'm on my way

And now I'm gone

I'm gone

I'm on my way
