John Thorpe - Faces At The Window

There's a place out on the ocean where the sea and the sky collide
Where broken hearted lovers watch the ships in the night roll by
Like souls locked out of heaven, like angels with no wings
They've lost their rhyme and reason like a fiddle with no strings

Now lately I've been thinking of the good times way back when
We still had each other but then again that was then
Caught between two evils, the devil and the deep blue sea
What happened to the people that we used to be

Faces at the window, pictures on the wall
Full of good intentions, pride before the fall
Broken-mirrored images, jigsaw puzzle games
You just pick up the pieces and start out over again

Now the hand that rocks the cradle it's the same that deals the blows
Lies and broken promises, that's how the story goes
You live and you learn and then in turn you reap what you sow
I'm not looking for the answers it's the questions I don't know

So you spin the wheel of fortune and learn to bend the rules
Chasing rainbow coloured dreams with the wisdom of a fool
Count the tears and the wasted years in the lines upon your face
Burn out like a shooting star, lost without a trace

When the joy it turns to sorrow, when the colours turn to grey
And you're deafened by the silence when there's nothing left to say
The winners and the losers, victims and accusers
Beggars can't be choosers when they throw it all away

Well this old world keeps turning and there's times when the cold winds blow
You've got to roll with the punches, go with the flow
May you be slow to anger, quick to forgive
May you be true unto yourself for as long as you may live
