Strange Faces

If I had a room to breath in

If I had a burnin' fire

One would surely choke the other

Leavin' me the same desire

There's no bottle left half empty

There's no sun can frame my door

If I sailed away forever

Never would I find the shore

If I gave my whole collection

To a weakness made of man

I would steal it back in darkness

Wake up shakin' my own hand

And if I ran away from somethin'

I'd be needed for a time

And I'd return to my replacement

Findin' things that I can't find

If I had a way to feel

The things that sit just out of reach

I would touch the strangest faces

Till they're not so strange to me

If I had a drink of water

Clean enough to cleanse the years

I would drown to learn a lesson

Taught somewhere beyond my years

And if I had a wild old mare

It slowly takes me where it does

I would reach the end of there

To look up where I was

If I had a way to feel

The things that sit just out of reach

I would touch the strangest faces

Till they're not so strange to me

I would touch the strangest faces

Till they're not so strange to me
