Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street, got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
Bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
Oh, Sam was up on top and I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke ...
I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more
I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamor
So I know just what I am
I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more
Feel the angel of the present
In the mig...
Like a full force gale, I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord
And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord
In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord

Oh, when I can't find my feet
When I need rest and sleep
The Sunday bells they chime
Around the count...
Down the mystic avenue
I walk again
Remembering the days gone by
And I'm knockin' with my heart
And all the girls walk by
In all their summer fashions
And the church bells chime
On a summer Sunday afternoon
She gives me religion

And the Angel of imagination
Opened up my gate
She said "Come right in
I saw you knockin' with your heart"
And the Angel of imagination

Send me your picture
Send me your pillow
Send it through Krishna
On the Vanlose stairway
Send me your Bible
Send me your Gita
I want to reach you
On the Vanlose stairway
On the Vanlose stairway
And your stairway
Reaches up to the moon
And it comes right back
It comes right back to you
Send me some loving
Send me some kissing
You know what I'm missing
On the Vanlose stairway
On the Vanlose stai...
