Upon The Step lyrics

The progression of domestic activity

A number of couples upon the step

In a new household just two pairs

Little room and put each day aside

As the days progress, more feet

Lengthening the distance needed

So the pairs amass further still

At times some being yet foreign

But as the tides take their toll

And the dogs stray off elsewhere

Their matches vacate their space

One step at a time on other paths

And in old age even the loyal twins

In time must part dual company

Until at last but one set remains

A quandary of one soul with two shoes
