Almost a smile
   Like the sun here in November
   Almost a smile
   Almost a smile
   Lakes that glitter behind trees
   Blinking lamps in dusky streets
   Almost a smile
   Almost a smile
   Like the bliss of northern summer
   Hopefulness with the new-comer
   Very casual and unstable
   like a guest will leave the table
   Like a day when nothing happens
   when you were sure the worst would happen
   Almost a smile
   Like a word that isn't worthless
   that you haven't heard in lies yet
   Almost a smile
   Like the presence of a stranger
   when you've lived in constant danger
   Almost a smile
   Passing cars, surprising comfort
   Like a lover at the airport
   Almost a smile
