Stairway To The Bottom Lyrics - Feeling Mortal - Kris Kristofferson

Well you've started again 

With the wife of a friend 

On another night you hope you won't recall 

And the wine that you're drinkin' 

Doesn't keep you from thinkin' 

Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul 

As you listen to your lies 

Once again you realize 

That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all 

And I watch you climb that stairway 

To the bottom 

Every evening in that mirror on the wall 

You take pride in deceiving 

One who tried hard believin' in you 

Even after all the lies you told 

But each lie that you've spoken 

And each vow that you've broken 

Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul 

If you think someone's cryin' 

For the love that is dyin' 

With the trust that you betray each time you fall 

Look around you on that stairway to the bottom 

No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall
