Man at the Top of the Stairs

from Governor's Square by Chamber Band

/

lyrics

once i woke in the dark
double beat in my heart
and i called for my mother
she came and she gathered me up in her arms
laughed it off — as i cried
wiped the tear from my eye
told me “child, the sounds up in the attic
are far from only sounds in your mind
there’s a man at the top of the stairs
so you stay on the landing
it might seem like you’ve seen him before but
that’s a misunderstanding
things change
and people seem to lose all reasoning
but you’re safe
trust that i’ll protect you
and if you see the man call for me
i’ll be there
comforting
don’t be scared
mothers here
things change
and people seem to lose all reasoning
but you’re safe
trust that i’ll protect you
and if you see the man
pay no mind to what he says
pay no mind to how he lingers
if you see the man, move along
call for me
i’ll be there
don’t be scared
mothers here”
