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
