man of a thousand faces
Singer:cockburn, bruce
i'm looking to be by a window
that looks out on the sea
in the garden paths take form
but the hailstorm guards its own
in memorium friends come round
but the hard ground holds its own
it's my turn but where's the guide?
and the gulls cry once or twice
behind the glass eye of the idol
jewels on the serpent's crown
twist the space between them
till every eye is blinded
lord will you trade your sunlit ocean
with its writhing filigree
for any one of my thousand faces?
