A Few Steps Away - Bagatelle

Tommy used to live on the second floor

I guess he doesn’t live there, anymore

Mary used to live in the room downstairs

And no one ever saw her behind that door

And everyday

They’d pass each other in the hall

And every night

They’d sit alone behind that wall

And love

Was just a few steps away…

Came a day, one afternoon

Tommy met Mary

She was leaving her room

They walked together through the summer heat

And said goodbye

At the end of the street

And all that night

He lay awake in bed

Thought of the girl

That he just met

And down below

She lay awake, too

Neither of them knowing

Just what to do

And love

Was just a few steps away…

And isn’t it strange?

Two people never knowing

That the other is there

And isn’t it life?

So near

And yet so far

And almost at your door

But isn’t it sad?

When the one

That you want

Is almost at your door

But you

You never know…

They fell in love, but who can say

What might have happened

On another day

Tommy didn’t want to push too fast

And Mary didn’t know

If this love could last

And everyday

They’d pass each other in the hall

And every night

They’d sit alone behind that wall

And love

Was just a few steps away…

Just a few steps away…

Oh, love…

Just a few steps away…

A few steps away…

A few steps away…

Ohh…
