Strange Faces

If I had a room to breath in
If I had a burnin' fire
One would surely choke the other
Leavin' me the same desire
There's no bottle left half empty
There's no sun can frame my door
If I sailed away forever
Never would I find the shore

If I gave my whole collection
To a weakness made of man
I would steal it back in darkness
Wake up shaking my own hand
And if I ran away from something
I'd be needed for a time
And I'd return to my replacement
Finding things that I can't find

If I had a way to feel
The things that sit just out of reach
I would touch the strangest faces
Till their not so strange to me

If I had a drink of water
Clean enough to cleanse the years
I would drown to learn a lesson
Taught somewhere beyond my years
And if I had a wild old mare
It slowly takes me where it does
I would reach the end of there
To look up where I was

If I had a way to feel
The things that sit just out of reach
I would touch the strangest faces
Till their not so strange to me
I would touch the strangest faces
Till their not so strange to me
