<pre><font size='+2'>THREE FLIGHTS UP lyrics DON MCLEAN</font><br>On the first floor… On the first floor…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the first floor there`s a young girl reeling<br />
<br />
Her body`s numb and without feeling<br />
<br />
As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling<br />
<br />
Now she`s falling, now she`s kneeling<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It`s almost like she`s bowed in prayer<br />
<br />
A savior she`s about to bear<br />
<br />
She screams for help, but no one`s there…<br />
<br />
On the first floor…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the first floor people walk the halls<br />
<br />
But none can hear her desperate calls<br />
<br />
There is no sound beyond the walls<br />
<br />
So to the telephone she crawls<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She telephones her only friend<br />
<br />
The one on whom she can depend<br />
<br />
But the phone rings on without an end<br />
<br />
Then rings no more…On the first floor…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There`s a party on the second floor<br />
<br />
And through the picture window you can see them all<br />
<br />
They`re laughing and they`re dancing<br />
<br />
Admiring the Renoir that`s hanging on the wall<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But in the master bedroom where the coats are piled high<br />
<br />
A silent, saddened lady thinks of what it`s like to die<br />
<br />
And as she dwells on all the years she still has left to face<br />
<br />
She wonders how she`ll ever find someone to take his place<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then suddenly she`s jarred by the ringing of the phone<br />
<br />
Oh, why do you ring now, just when I want to be alone?<br />
<br />
So she walks into the bathroom and drinks some water from a cup<br />
<br />
But the telephone stops ringing just before she picks it up…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My family was very poor<br />
<br />
So I worked hard to be secure<br />
<br />
I married one I had to wed<br />
<br />
And not the one I loved instead<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I was young my blood ran wild<br />
<br />
But we stayed married for the child<br />
<br />
Now three flights up, I`m all alone<br />
<br />
My wife is dead, my child is grown<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My daughter leads a wayward life<br />
<br />
She`s been a failure as a wife<br />
<br />
And though she lives just one floor down<br />
<br />
She never calls or comes around…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step off the platform and onto the train<br />
<br />
Look out your window and into the rain<br />
<br />
Watch all the buildings that pass as you ride<br />
<br />
And count all the stories that go on inside<br />
<br />
And then ask yourself if it must be this way<br />
<br />
Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings<br />
<br />
Separate us from each others` feelings?<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/three_flights_up_lyrics-don_mclean.html" target='_blank'>THREE FLIGHTS UP lyrics DON MCLEAN</a></pre>

Send "Three Flights Up" Ringtone to your Cell

On the first floor… On the first floor…

On the first floor there`s a young girl reeling

Her body`s numb and without feeling

As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling

Now she`s falling, now she`s kneeling

It`s almost like she`s bowed in prayer

A savior she`s about to bear

She screams for help, but no one`s there…

On the first floor…

On the first floor people walk the halls

But none can hear her desperate calls

There is no sound beyond the walls

So to the telephone she crawls

She telephones her only friend

The one on whom she can depend

But the phone rings on without an end

Then rings no more…On the first floor…

There`s a party on the second floor

And through the picture window you can see them all

They`re laughing and they`re dancing

Admiring the Renoir that`s hanging on the wall

But in the master bedroom where the coats are piled high

A silent, saddened lady thinks of what it`s like to die

And as she dwells on all the years she still has left to face

She wonders how she`ll ever find someone to take his place

Then suddenly she`s jarred by the ringing of the phone

Oh, why do you ring now, just when I want to be alone?

So she walks into the bathroom and drinks some water from a cup

But the telephone stops ringing just before she picks it up…

My family was very poor

So I worked hard to be secure

I married one I had to wed

And not the one I loved instead

When I was young my blood ran wild

But we stayed married for the child

Now three flights up, I`m all alone

My wife is dead, my child is grown

My daughter leads a wayward life

She`s been a failure as a wife

And though she lives just one floor down

She never calls or comes around…

Step off the platform and onto the train

Look out your window and into the rain

Watch all the buildings that pass as you ride

And count all the stories that go on inside

And then ask yourself if it must be this way

Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings

Separate us from each others` feelings?
