Written by: Donnelly (© 1999 SOCAN) Lyrics You didn't have to say a word: it was one of those times when language seemed absurd You didn't really have a choice: crying had made you lose your voice. I couldn't look you in the eye: I couldn't get myself to try Sorry you found out about the lie: sorry you had to wonder why CHORUS Now I'm sitting on the steps of the Dominion-Chalmers United Church I know that things look bad, but I can make them even worse Two a.m., head so alone. Never want a space to call my own. Apathy gnawing at my bones, no incentive to go home. Staring up into your window: your light is on, I can see your shadow Hoping that you'll take a look outside, hoping you'll give me a second try It's all right. I'll get by. You made your choice, I heard your voice: you said goodbye Chorus Sitting on the steps, lying on the steps, dying on those steps… Story Located on O’Connor St. In Ottawa, this church was a place for sitting and pondering in the middle of the night on a couple of occasions. It was no coincidence that my ex-girlfriend lived across the street. |
