A Face like Yours

(from the CD Songs from the Midnight Shift)

A face like yours
Could lead a man to murder
A face like yours
Could drive a man to tears
If I'd only seen it
For a moment
I'd still see it
In a million years.
I could walk around
The world forever
Across the mountains
And the open moors
And keep on
Walking for as long as
There's a sunrise
To look upon a face like yours.

A face like yours
Was made to make me crazy
A face like yours
Makes that a price I'll gladly pay
As happy as
As a squirrel in a nuthouse
Picturing your face
All day.
I'd never try
To leave the building
I'd never even try
The handle of the door
There is no
Option of ever
Escaping from
The memory of a face like yours.

I'd turn on all the lights in the asylum
So everybody there could see
A face like yours is everything
To a faceless man like me.

A face like yours
Makes me want to live forever
A face like yours
Tells me when it's time to die
Whistling all the way
To the graveyard
Trying to
Catch your eye.
Surrounded by the wind
In the tall dry grass
Surrounded by
The sprit of the lord
Surrounded
By the stars
Looking down at me
Looking at a face like yours.
