All Those Faces - Timothy B. Schmit

I’ve seen many towns and cities

I’ve been around the block

I meet people, all those faces

But someday I’ll stop

Not that I want to, but I see now

All things do change

Father time, he marches onward

And nothing stays the same

I have seen a magic carpet

I have taken flight

I just hang on to the edges

And sail through the night

It’s so easy with a tailwind

But it’s not always so

Comes a storm then crash landing

That’s the way it goes

I’m glad I’m not alone

Dealing with these mysteries

It’s a constant ebb and flow

A struggle to be free

Kick your boots off

Take a leap of faith

Let’s be on our way

Don’t forget to wave

I’m in training

Living out my life

It is quite a ride

I like you by my side…

Please stay

Have you ever seen a baby

Look into your yes

There is nothing quite like it

So young, so wise

In the distance there’s a meadow

So green and fine

It takes a while to finally get there

But it’s worth the time

See that rising moon

Longing to touch the sky

In the endless rendezvous

You can almost hear a sigh

Kick you boots off

Take a leap of faith

Let’s be on our way

Don’t forget to wave

I’m in training

Living out my life

It is quite a ride

I like you by my side…

Please stay

Lay it all out on the table

I’ll stand my ground

Then lift me up to higher places

And I won’t look down

We are all in this together

But we forget

In this world with all those faces

So much regret

It’s time to plant the seeds

No use in turning back

Love’s a simple, basic need

And we all need to know that

Kick your boots off

Take a leap of faith

Let’s be on our way

Don’t forget to wave

I’m in training

Living out my life

It is quite a ride

I like you by my side…

Please stay
