Take off your coat, girl, Leave it by the stairs, Pick up the telephone
There's a star outside Shining bright And the moonlight falls On the apple tree
She stands and watches Venus rise And from another street a baby cries But everything will be all right
And we can see her face Disappear into the night's strange patterns From the window of a train We see her dancing barefoot in the summer rain
Another face, another time Turns peacefully into the fading mackerel sky But something ancient in her eyes Says everything will be all right
I hear the milk-float coming down the terrace now, The fat man in the corner house Is shaving in his dressing gown, A girl stands in a garden And starlings swoop above the town
Then everything moves out of sight In darkness deeper than the darkest night We hear the heart that comes to life And everything will be all right
