There's a myriad of faces underneath this single skin
And I've seen a thousand places
that I know I've never been
Look deeply in my eyes, babe,
and you'll know that I'm for real
I've got wounds that stretch a thousand years
and I need your love to heal
'Cause when the song is sung and the notes die away
Nothing's left for me now
Can you hear what I say?
I live my life the normal way
But every night I dream
Outside I am a young man
Things are seldom what they seem
I dream of things forgotten
And I dream of things I've known
I dream of empty cities
And the years I spent alone
But when the song is sung and the notes die away
Nothing's left for me now
Will you please say you'll stay?
More than crowds are fading, babe,
That's why I'm standing now
We stand to lose more than we've got
Let's win it back somehow
(repeat 1st v. and chorus)
