Tables Have Turned Lyrics

I hear the door

Laughter escapes

High heels on the stairway

Charm bracelet chimes in the night

Drifts up to my doorway

Your shadow, elegant

Sweet perfume fills the room

You tell me: 'Don't be scared

I'm here'

But now the tables have turned

I'm here for you

The things you taught me

I'm now teaching you

Hold your hand

When the cold sets in

Because the tables have turned

Ring the bell

But I can't hear a sound

No footsteps in the hallway

Find my keys, call out your name

Heartbeat starts to run away

But then I see you there

Peaceful in your arm chair

Like a flower with its face

To the sun

Across the road

Your arms in mine

Fragile as a china doll

We've built a nest for you

Like the starlings do

Can't let you fall

Can't let you fall.
