about

A tale of obsession and missed connection beginning in Cumberland, BC and ending in Nashville, TN over 13 years later

lyrics

There were two conversations that night
Ours was flirtation, theirs was a fight
You kissed me when I had to go, drove your car through the snow,
did all I could hope, just to meet me

We told you that I would be there, they said you were waiting downstairs

Chorus 1 + 2:
If I had just walked down the stairs
If I wasn't so shy and embarrassed and I
came down to meet you and you were still there
If I had just walked down the stairs

Too many years later, it's sure been a climb
As you sail on the boat on the back of your dime
If I had a chance I would hand you a branch
from the back of mine

(chorus 2)

Ran outside calling your name, snow had covered your footprints
Like I covered my shame
If I hadn't waited, waited for fate
I wouldn't be here...too little too late...

It's lonely up there, walk down the stairs
It's lonely up here, walk down the stairs

If I had just walked down the stairs
If I wasn't so shy and embarrassed and I
don't know the point of these letters I send
I know you have a lover, don't want to offend
But I sure wish that I was your friend
and that you would still care
And that I had just walked down the stairs

about

Milly Raccoon Nashville, Tennessee

Trained by campfires and tavern jams all over the world, Milly Raccoon’s eccentric and poignant lyrics mix with musical stylings that seem to have travelled out of the past, emulating classic country, early jazz, and other antiquated Americana. There is a connecting thread of spirituality, healing and liberation weaving through her work.
