Almost Strangers

It was almost midnight
It was almost love
We were almost strangers
In broken glass near the pub

There was far too much noise
There was far too much song
We were far from our lives
And the night seemed so long

We kissed in a doorway
Kissed by Trafalgar Square
In the fountain we kissed
Abandoned, without care

We held hands together
We held hands until dawn
Hand in hand through the streets
Until darkness was gone

It was almost love
We were far from our lives
We kissed in a doorway
And said our last goodbyes
