Song | Your Face On The Street |
Artist | Peter Hammill |
Album | Thin Air |
作曲 : Hammill | |
I'd see your face on the street | |
often times as I went on my day to day. | |
We were never to meet | |
but a nodding acquaintance had come our way. | |
I never paid it much mind, | |
always assumed I'd continue to see you there. | |
But of the mysteries behind, | |
all the shadows before us we're unaware. | |
Don't swim out too far, for Christ's sake | |
don't go in the bar, for Christ's sake | |
don't get in the car… | |
Oh, my heart skipped a beat | |
Don't let down your guard, | |
when I chanced on a headline that featured you. | |
don't swim out too far, | |
And here's your face on the street, | |
don't go in the bar, | |
on a poster appealing for any clue… | |
don't get in the car… | |
You let down your guard for Christ's sake, | |
You went in the bar for Christ's sake, | |
You got in the car for Christ's sake. | |
What happened? | |
You swam out too far for Christ's sake, | |
Where'd it go wrong? | |
you went in the bar for Christ's sake, | |
You're there one moment, | |
you got in the car… | |
the next you're gone. | |
I see your face on the street now | |
as a ghost apparition, you'll not come home. | |
So much in life's incomplete – | |
somehow in your disappearance I felt my own. | |
You swam out too far for comfort, | |
you let down your guard forever, | |
What happened? | |
you went in the bar, for Christ's sake, | |
Where'd it go wrong? | |
you got in the car for Christ's sake, | |
You're there one moment | |
you let down your guard forever, | |
and there you're gone, | |
you let down your guard. | |
gone forever just like that | |
and all the future's fallen flat. |
