Black Ladder Lyrics by Patti Scialfa

Play It As It Lays

0

[Verse 1]
Little sugar take me with you
Tell me I'm the only one
Lift me up to your blue heaven
Tell me all my work is done
[Chorus]
I've been down your black ladder
I've been down your dark stairs
Tell me that our love matters
Tell me that you care
[Verse 2]
Little sugar dance me slowly
Seven circles around the sun
I've been feeling oh so lowly
Tell me all my work is done
[Chorus]
You've been down my black ladder
You've been down my dark stairs
I tell you now that you matter
Tell you darlin' that I still care
