From the recording Upstairs Downstairs

Lyrics

Two faces in the hallway staring at me
A painting that held my destiny
One face of failure the other of dreams
A vision of life that's more than it seems

Two spheres two lives both part of my plan
A world for my sons a place for my new man
Keeping them separate my way to survive
The artwork reflected the way I'd thrive

The meaning shifted it opened my eyes
This painting became my guide to the skies
My parents' divorce still echoes in me
I won't let my sons bear the same memory

Two spheres two lives both part of my plan
A world for my sons a place for my man
Keeping them separate my way to survive
The artwork reflected the way I'd thrive

I owe it to my children my new man and me
To create a life where we're truly free
Living Apart could work for all
A balance of love my chosen embrace

Two spheres two lives both part of my plan
A world for my sons a place for my man
Keeping them separate my way to survive
The artwork reflected the way I'd thrive

Two faces in the hallway a vision so true
A future secure in the choices I knew
My happiness lives in the lines I've designed
The two faces of my painting forever mine
