Soft fading light And on the street below the people come and go and the traffic rushes by and then the lights turn red Cold now and it is getting late And people look at their watches As they wait for the bus And there's a man with no gloves and he blows on his fingers And it gets dark so fast for such a long day And the room is quiet and starts to fade away Just the smell of cigarettes And only one broken glass And you would never guess I have climbed up to the top of the tallest tree And no one knows I'm here And I could hide for hours and hours And I can see for miles And I have never fallen And I will not come down And the sun is shining Downstairs someone is getting home And the door slams And running footsteps on the floor And a stereo starts up And they are laughing And I can hear them talking But I can't quite make it out And I wonder what their saying and What they can find to talk about And I wonder why he stays And why he hasn't walked out I have climbed up to the top of the tallest tree And no one knows I'm here And I could hide for hours and hours And I can see for miles And I have never fallen And I will not come down And the sun is shining
