The River Below,The Balcony Above,And Love

Beads balloons and colored  lights
on the balcony tonight
    one drop
    two drops
   three drops
     four
tears are falling on the floor
   one sigh
   two sighs
  three sighs
    five
are you glad to be alive?
  one look 
  three looks
  five looks
   six
sailing down the river styx
when they ask you who you were
tell them you could not concur
with the others you recall
who you are\ were through it all.
