The Faces People Make - 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 secrets known

Their eyes 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

The faces they make when they’re shy

Reveals the desire in their eye

Faces they make when they’re blue

Betrays the smile of loneliness

They’re wearin' to get through
