It kept blipping off but as I recall: Now every time I try to sleep I'm troubled by the sound Of firemen pounding up the stairs While we were running down. I don't see anything likely at CDNow. Any notion what record this might be on? |

Only one problem-as a female fire fighter, the use of the term "firemen", leaves out my sisters who perished in the towers. The image of rescuers running into a burning bldg. is a heroic one, however, and the song is very moving. |

Here's a site with pictures. |

Merino, 24, who was a single mother of an 8 year old son, was helping a patient in the stairwell. Incredible to see all those faces and realize they are no longer with us--such a great loss. |
