Above Songtext
von Michael O'Connor

The cathedral chimes, it′s three a.m
I whisper a prayer, you won't find where I′ve been
So low down and shiftless, I cheated your love
Now I'm out on the street and you're ten flights above
With a cardboard sign, with a roll on my back
With my legs on the loading dock when there′s ships to unpack
Then to the Sea Ranch Motel for a few nights I′ll stay
'Til my belly′s full of beans, 'til I burn through my pay


Oh, I never try when push comes to shove
Now I′m out here and you're ten flights above
Oh, I′m down and you're ten flights above

I ride all night to keep out of the rain
'Til I spy my reflection in the bus window pane
With a babe on your hip was the family we made
But for the booze and the horses I foolishly trade

Oh, I never try when push comes to shove
Now I′m out here and you′re ten flights above
Oh, I'm down and you′re ten flights above

Oh, I'm stranded and you′re ten flights above
