The steps outside Cara`s Flat.
Maybe -Millie's Theme
Cara sits on the steps, locked out of her flat and dejected. Having caught up with Cara, Millie sits down besides her. With Millie's arrival, Cara is able to confide in someone for the first time and the two sing of coping against the odds.
Lights up on stage left, (steps to Cara`s flat).
Cara:
Maybe, I've been running for so long
I just can't remember where I started from.
Lately, I've been burning the midnight oil
With sorrow and with toil
Millie:
Who are you living for,
Who are you living for,
Who are you living for?
Millie:
You keep your head above the water
And your feet upon the ground
You're waiting for summer
But it's winter all around
Though your screams break the silence
Words cannot be found
To say how you're feeling
So you don't make a sound
You don't make a sound
Millie:
Baby, as you lie awake in bed
Do memories of yesterday fill your head?
Lady, in the morning when you wake
Do you wonder if today
Your heart might break
Your heart might break
Your heart might break?
Millie:
Do you know how much he loves you
Can't you see how much he cares?
Cara:
He doesn't know me
Millie:
To show how you're feeling
Please don't throw away what's there
Cara:
But if he knew me
Millie:
I can see that you love him
I can see how much you care
Cara:
I love him so deeply
But my true love I'll leave
Leave his heart to grieve
Lights down on stage left (steps to Cara`s flat).
