In Every Face

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 its 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 or 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
