Lyrics
You Stayed 2001 by Steve Mason
-Verse 1-
Did I see you in the stairwell?
Through smoke-filled air?
Singing songs to comfort
My friend was that you there?
And outside on the sidewalk
?neath falling skies
Every brother?s father (Mike)
Giving final rites
-Bridge-
Leading lost souls? to the light, into the clearing
Out of the dark? you hurried them away? but you stayed
-Verse 2-
No words could ever tell you?
Or show how much we care?
For your love and sacrifice
For the people on the stairs
-Bridge-
The people up there? A part of you and me?
Up on the stairs? So many angels set them free.
-Verse 3-
Now I just have to thank you
Though I know not names
I?m still hearing songs in stairwells
From the heroes of that day
-Bridge-
Leading lost souls? to the light, into the clearing
Out of the dark? you hurried them away? but you stayed
-Verse 1-
Did I see you in the stairwell?
Through smoke-filled air?
