The Faces People Make

by Walter Egan

Faces trading places as they float before my eyes,
Smiling faces frowning faces all go passing by,
Can you see the look in their eyes,
Can you see behind their disguise,

The Faces People Make show it clear,
The loneliness, the hunger and fear,
The hearts about to break, The Faces People Make.

The Faces People Make can make their deepest sexrets known,
Their faces are like a TV screen, the soul's the picture shown,
If you see the look in their eyes,
You can see behind their disguise.
