Faces of My Friends

A twelve-hour drunken heart-to-heart
Is as good a place as anywhere to start
Love is exactly how it is
She links her arm in his
Oh, the river it flows to the delta
And it deepens as it goes
‘What did I mean to you?'
It's in the faces of my friends
It's in the faces of my friends

She watches him turn then takes her keys
Never got used to his unease
Taking a taxi on her own
Quick line of lipstick, last spray of cologne
Oh, the river it flows to the delta
And it slows, oh how it slows
‘What did I mean to you?'
It's in the faces of my friends
It's in the faces of my friends

We fall though the world like flakes of snow
Each one unique, above and below
Everything can be as it seems
Watching the wind move through the hornbeams
Oh, the river it flows to the delta
And it slows, oh how it slows
‘What did I mean to you?'
It's in the faces of my friends
It's in the faces of my friends

Don't stop, you know you can't stop it
Jump start, come on, it's time to jump start
Just let it, you've got to let it go
Come on now, just let it go
It's just a kind, it's just a kind of dreaming
It's just a kind, it's just a kind of dreaming
Curtains of rain, curtains of rain
It's in the faces of my friends
But don't stop, don't stop, don't stop now
