Lyrics and Chords

Steep Stairs

(Joe D'Urso)

These words were written in Amsterdam late night/early morning July 1, 2003, the last night of our two-month European tour. Lots of great times but also a lot of driving and I was feeling a little beat up when I wrote these words late night in my hotel room. The music was written early July 2003 in my son's room while putting him to sleep.

I've been climbing steep stairs far too many nights
Searching every day for something that is right
I've been climbing steep stairs since I could walk
Fighting for the right word from the moment I could talk
I've been climbing steep stairs

Don't need a reason to ask these questions
Don't need a season to make me feel fine
Just need love to give me strength
Just need love to help me climb

I've been driving for miles, hours on end
Searching for the right song
For words that will mend
I've been climbing steep stairs

Don't need a reason to ask these questions
Don't need a season to make me feel fine
Just need love to give me strength
Just need love to help me climb

Cause I've been climbing steep stairs
Far too many nights
But now they're just plain old stairs
Still something 'bout it ain't right

I'm climbing steep stairs
Climbing steep stairs,
Steep stairs...
