Face of a Stranger
I sailed away from an island To an island across the earth And I worked at adopting their style and their customs For all I was worth And I rose to my present position And I gained some celebrity Now I bask in their praise and conditional love But who do they see The face of stranger Who can't even say who he is anymore The face of a stranger A mask made for covering passions and pain But lately I'm wondering what did I gain When I see in my mirror the face of a stranger Come home and visit your dad, boy Calls my mum from across the sea He's not young anymore and he's sad, boy Though he won't admit it to me So I fly myself back to their island To the wheat and the tractor wheels And I show them my sonny-boy smile and I know They can tell it conceals The face of a stranger No longer at home in that house on the hill The face of a stranger The boy that they raised there is gone without trace もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com And even the family he's built in their place Regard him with love, but they're loving the face of a stranger I would be off on my own Exploring the earth's empty ends Then why am I lonely Surrounded by family and friends They tell you No man is an island But to me that's not how it seems I think every man is an island Of secrets and longings and dreams An invisible ocean surrounds us Those who love us reach just the shoals Is it any surprise it astounds us How well we keep playing our roles With the face of a stranger Who peers in bright windows from out in the dark The face of a stranger And even the woman I most truly love She tells me I wear an emotional glove But I laugh it off with the smiling face of a stranger Darling, have you seen the children Yes, they're out playing Pirates-at-Sea Ah, well, let me just pay this last bill, then And we can sit down and have tea...
