[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We returned to that five-room flat
Now it was empty and this the last time
There were blinking pictures
Of how we'd sit and chat
Some of them scattered
Others shattered in my mind
[Chorus]
It was always three flights up
Cathedral bells kept time
[Verse 2]
In the winter, a-chatterin' cold
While the building shook like ragweed in the wind
Stories from the heat pipes
We were told
But now they only leave me
With a half-enchanted grin
[Chorus]
It was always three flights up
Cathedral bells kept time
[Bridge]
Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view
And towels warmed on oven doors
To not freeze
Was the only thing to do
[Verse 3]
And I wonder if we kept to the fair warning
'Cause I can see it in the flowers
Dyin' on the windowsill
I know we must be out by tomorrow mornin'
But am I going 'gainst my will
[Chorus]
It was always three flights up
Cathedral bells kept time
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view
And towels warmed on oven doors
To not freeze
Was the only thing to do
[Verse 4]
And I wonder if we kept to the fair warning
'Cause I can see it in the flowers
Dyin' on the windowsill
I know we must be out by tomorrow mornin'
But am I going 'gainst my will
[Chorus]
It was always three flights up
Cathedral bells kept time
It was always three flights up
Cathedral bells kept time
[Outro]
