A Face in the Crowd Songtext

von Magnum

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 gotta 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 everythin' you've found
Somehow nothin' stays the same
And believe some of us remain

Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Somethin' 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 gonna take you home
