The Stairs

Текст песни REBA MCENTIRE - The Stairs <br/> (pamela brown, david roberts)<br /><br /><br />She looks at the clock, it&#039;s a quarter past nine.<br />She hears his car as he pulls in the drive.<br />Dinner&#039;s still waiting from hours before.<br />She knows he&#039;s been drinking when he walks through the door.<br />( )<br />In anger he strikes out and she starts to cry.<br />How much more can she take, how much more can<br />She lie.<br /><br />And she fell down the stairs again.<br />But it hasn&#039;t happened since she don&#039;t know when.<br />Was it in spring when she packed up the kids, or<br />Maybe in winter with his job on the skids.<br />Oh but just like before she&#039;ll have to<br />Pretend that she fell down the stairs again.<br /><br />A short time ago, she started<br />A job, serving chicken fried steak and corn on the cob.<br />She started out shy, but she ended up sure,<br />That a ticket to anywhere could be the cure.<br />But he couldn&#039;t handle her change for the better.<br />She tried to leave him , but he wouldn&#039;t let her.<br />He says he&#039;s sorry, he&#039;d never mean it.<br />He swears it won&#039;t happen again. but she&#039;s so confused,<br />She wants to believe it. she just wants this nightmare to end.<br /><br />And she fell down the stair again.<br />But it hasn&#039;t happened since she don&#039;t know when.<br />Was it in spring when she packed up the kids, or<br />Maybe in winter with his job on the skids.<br />Oh but just like before she&#039;ll have to pretend<br />That she fell down the stairs again.<br />
