Light up the steps, got a few more left to go
Midnight closing in fast and low
Baby's tired of fussing, there's a little left to lose
You've got a letter on the table, you've got old news
You've got a letter on the table, you've got old news
He's gone, the girls sing, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby
Hey, now it's lonely in the trenches lately
There's no echo but you're singing, singing baby
Secrets never told
Sealed in lipstick on the end of a barlboro
Waiting in the ashes like a whisper of a ghost
You've got no one left to hold you, no one left to hold
You've got no one left to hold you, no one left to hold
Sing, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby
Hey, now it's lonely in the trenches lately
There's no echo but you're singing, singing baby
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Traffic slows down but it never stops
Like the streetlight in the window that won't turn off
Somewhere up behind it, there's stillness, there's silence
They know how to take in the dark
Sing, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby
Hey, now it's lonely
There's no echo but you're singing, you're singing baby
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
She sang it low
Sing it to my guardian from Hutchin Hill Road
She sang it for the travelers lost away home
She sang it



Same as for me, same as for me
I remember her voice saying,
Lord, I'm standing on Mount
She was singing to the drifters who lost their way home.
She was singing to me.
