False Faces Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

Oil on canvas 

Couplets and stanzas 

To divine who you are 

Pencil portrayals and 

Jealous betrayals 

Get you further afar. 

False faces and 

Meaningless chases 

I travel alone 

First places and 

Calendar races 

I need a home. 

Hostile hotel walls 

Footfalls and phone calls 

And you're on the line 

Gentle coercions and 

Bitter desertions 

When the truth is a lie. 

False faces and 

Meaningless chases 

I travel alone 

First places and 

Calendar races 

I need a home. 

Lover twice yearly 

That last battle nearly 

Cost me the fight. 

Broke through the ice 

And got cut down 

to size 

And escaped 

through the night. 

False faces and 

Meaningless chases 

I travel alone 

First places and 

Calendar races 

I need a home.
