lyrics

I think I saw you in the marketplace
Behind some vegetables, hiding your face
You glanced over as you asked for a price
The sidewalk outside was covered in ice

Or I might have seen you when it was spring
Like news headlines covering everything
“The war is over, the war just began”
I tore up the grass on a small bit of land

And I’d like to know just who you are
Faceless beauty always turning from afar

Your moves, your dress, your electric things
Your umbrella protecting your diamond rings
All turn again to meet the eye
Are these your reasons for passing me by?

Or should I see forever the positions you hold?
Your facial expressions as you fill each role?
Am I to you as you are to me?
A distant reflection of a moment to be

And I’d like to know just who you are
Faceless beauty always turning from afar
