Verse
Dim yellow light on the landing
Dust motes dancing in the air
Old radiator pipes are demanding
A scent that lingers everywhere
Stale smoke and heavy rain
Washing through the window pane
Chorus
It’s the smell of the stairs
The ghosts of the halls
A ghost of a life
Between these four walls
Yeah, it’s the smell of the stairs
Verse
Wet wool coats and floor wax
Faded memories on every flight
Tracing the lines of the old cracks
In the hollow glow of the night
The scent of a kitchen far below
From a life I used to know
Chorus
It’s the smell of the stairs
The ghosts of the halls
A ghost of a life
Between these four walls
Yeah, it’s the smell of the stairs
Bridge
Concrete breath and cedar wood
I’d stay right here if I only could
Walking up to a door that’s gone
In the quiet gray of a lonely dawn
Chorus
It’s the smell of the stairs
The ghosts of the halls
A ghost of a life
Between these four walls
Yeah, it’s the smell of the stairs
