Still life and moving shadows
Mystery by design
Connect the dots and you will follow
All in good time

All in a whirl we’ve been waiting
Wait to find a way
People move in all directions on the stairway

Stairway Machine
Lifts me up and lets me down
Destiny says I could fall on down
Stairway Machine
Takes me long and far away
Leads the way for me to follow on the stairway

Strange mood, changing picture
Out of sight, out of mind
Engine roars a sound approval
In your own time

All in a whirl we’ve been waiting
Wait to find a way
People pass in al l directions on the stairway

Stairway Machine
Lifts me up and lets me down
Destiny says I could fall on down
Stairway Machine
Takes me long and far away
Leads the way for me to follow on the stairway

Stairway Machine
Lifts me up and lets me down
Destiny says I could fall on down
Stairway Machine
Takes me long, far away
Picks me up, it often happens on the stairway
