A Face In The Crowd

(album: Into The Valley Of The Moon King - 2009)

The rain has chased away the sun
The darkest night has yet to come
And now you're falling in too deep
It won't be long till you fall asleep

You count your blessings one by one
And everything that has been done
Well, it's a game you've got to win
It's your life, you know where you've been

So don't you weep
Don't you cry
Secrets that you thought you'd keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you're a face
In the crowd
You have to shine through with grace
No need for shouting out loud

Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Something that you can't deny
Don't let it all pass you by

Now you don't seem to get around
And in everything you've found
Somehow nothing stays the same
And believe some of us remain

So don't you weep
Don't you cry
Secrets that you thought you'd keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you're a face
In the crowd
You have to shine through with grace
No need for shouting out loud

Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Something that you can't deny
Don't let it all pass you by

You're lost in the wilderness
Ain't no way of leaving
You think you're helpless
In a place unknown
You don't know you're standing
At the gates of Eden
Someone's waiting
Going to take you home

So don't you weep
Don't you cry
Secrets that you thought you'd keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you're a face
In the crowd
You have to shine through with grace
No need for shouting out loud

Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Something that you can't deny
Don't let it all pass you by

Don't you weep
Don't you cry
Don't you weep
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you weep
