Stairs - Emily Jane White

Mama don’t leave, mama don’t stay

We don’t know what game to play

This baby calf fell to earth

We don’t know just what she’s worth

Mama don’t leave, mama don’t stay

We don’t know what game to play

This baby calf tell to earth

We don’t know just what she’s worth

At the top of the stairs, with a crash she hit the ground

She fell backwards, backwards without a sound

Backwards without a sound

With a backhand at night, with a crash she hit the ground

She fell backwards, backwards without a sound

Backwards without a sound

Until she hit the ground

Until she hit the ground

Oh leave me here to stay

Oh I was meant to die this way

Oh leave me here to stay

Oh I was meant to die this way

And the wind rolled, and the rain came

And we all know, it was not her way

And the wind rolled, and the rain came

And we all know, it was not my way

Oh Katherine, are you in heaven now

Oh my Katherine, are you in heaven now

Oh sweet Katherine, are you in heaven now

Oh my Katherine, are you in heaven now

'Cause I was once just like you

And how it grew and how it grew

All these dreams of human beings

And all these wells, all these springs

I just don’t know what to do, what to do

What to do

Mama don’t leave, mama don’t stay

We don’t know what game to play

This baby calf fell to earth

We don’t know just what she’s worth
