Take of your coat, girl
Leave it by the stairs
Pick up the telephone
There's a star outside
Shining bride
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
