In every face I see a lover Who once inhaled the sweetness of another And hand in hand They took the path or stopped And let it wither Or fate stepped in with thorns and gales And left its trails In every face In every face In every face I see a child And wonder if they knew Toys and tears and mothers eyes Or cold and fear and bitter psalms A life begun in a shifting place That found itself betrayed In every face In every face In every face I see that time Is drawing with its spiders line Lines that say it's coming near And won't be held by days or years That fly so fast towards the place That waits for every face For every face In every face I look for you Who made me who I am I search and search, but never see The face that meant the most to me But I can't find what isn't there Until some moment lost and unaware I see your face in mine I see your face in mine I see your face In mine
