"The Long Stairs" lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

There was a long stair
She held her hand out

She said, 'It's okay for you to rest now
We've had a long run. We've run a long way,
We knew that one day this day would come
There must have been something good for you to love me so
Must have been something good, only you could know.'

He walked the long stairs, he said a long prayer,
Breathed in the cool air.
She held her hand out
'It's been a long time, son. Oh, how I've missed you.'
