Sometimes a man makes more of a relationship than was actually there; or sometimes it's just too little too late. Juliet clearly thought so. Is he really still in love with her?
lyrics
JULIET (FLEW THE COOP)
He went around to make the peace, but she’d already gone
Standing in the freezing wind, the solo street lamp shone
She’d never been the travelling kind
She had a flight to Cairns at nine
She hadn’t stopped to think, she just flew the coop
Juliet, I’m a hopeless mess
Juliet, I can’t redress
All the pain and the grief
I’ve given you, Juliet
He jumped into a Silvertop, he’d catch her by the Domain
Told the cabbie, drop her flat, it began to rain
Grazed a lamp post, clipped a sign
Missed a tram by the finest line
Burst into Tulla, like a Lotus at Le Mans
Juliet, I know my past
Juliet, I only ask
That you stay, and you’ll see
My word is my deed, Juliet
He dashed to the departure lounge, he caught but a glimpse
She took that plane to sunny Queensland, he hasn’t seen her since
She never wrote or rang or surfaced
A disappearance almost perfect
He still lives alone, his heart set in stone
Juliet, I would’ve died for you
Juliet, if you’d seen it through
Then you’d turn and you’d run
To my open arms
Juliet, I would’ve died in vain
Juliet, ah, the endless pain
Juliet, I’m still in love with you
Juliet, I would’ve seen it through
Juliet, still in love with you
Juliet, still in love with you
Juliet, still in love with you
Juliet, still in love with you
