Willie P. Bennett - Faces lyrics

She never thinks of me when I'm here She only dreams of me when I'm gone My heart rises to my mouth as she pa**es by me And I can't make a sound She gives me a mirror in a picture frame And says don't be ashamed to blame your blues On the man you see inside He's trying desperately to hide I know she's right And I can't fight the feelings That the man inside's not ready for revealing I've walked beside him on a stage Watched him trying to make believe He's read the pages of wisdom Now everyone has a needle Which they turn to in times of escape Injecting their reality with a little fantasy Makes it all easier to take Some say that it sets them free Me I've found that it seldom lets you see That the path your foot falls upon Doesn't make a sound I know I'm right And I can't fight the feelings That the hearts of man aren't ready for revealing I've walked beside them in the rain Watched their distant and their mortal pain And it's all the same I know I'm right And I can't hide the feelings That the hearts of man aren't ready for revealing I"ve walked beside them in the rain Watched their distant and their mortal pain And it's all the shame She never thinks of me when I'm here She only dreams of me when I'm gone My heart rises to my mouth as she pa**es by me And I can't make a sound
