Colours melting down the day towards evening
Someone watches them fade
Through an open window on the second floor
Up there where it’s safe
Other girls step out so far
Flying their hearts like kites
They kick up their heels
And float through the bars
Almost light
Crowds gather on uneven pavements
Chatter fills the air
Flowers of conversation poke through the window
At the girl sitting in her chair
Cigarette smoke twists up like vines
Billowing into sight
Breathing it in she remembers and reclines
Almost light
Come down from the balcony sweet Juliette
Get up put of your chair
Get down from the balcony fair Juliet
You won’t get what you’re looking for
Sitting up there
Though we know she’s fond of her silences
Hear the creaking wooden boards
Puts a silver key in her flowered pocket
Descends the steps, goes outdoors
Where there's music people and their laughter,
Here are signs of life
Stay here ‘til the moon disappears and after
It’s almost but not quite
It’s almost light.
