larry curtis spurlock
 
stepping across sanctuary’s threshold
 
1st verse
you can take the star
off my antechamber door
i’m no longer the hero
all the populous adore
for many years i was
if you were keeping score
i don’t know what the future
has in store
don’t even know
what i’m living for
and i don’t write love songs anymore

hook
just a step away from
sanctuary’s threshold
step step stepping across
sanctuary’s threshold
just a step away from
sanctuary’s threshold
step step stepping across
sanctuary’s threshold
step step stepping across
sanctuary’s threshold
step step stepping across
sanctuary’s threshold

2nd verse
you can strip away
my legendary lore
i no longer deserve
to be top floor
i’m not saying
i’m loathed and abhorred
my memories are rich
although my pockets are now poor
i’m still the same man
at my core
and i don’t write love songs anymore

repeat hook (2 x)

epilogue (repeat 10 x – out)
 
step step stepping across
sanctuary’s threshold
