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
