C
In truck stops, and hamburger joints,
Am
In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of
Dm
Has-beens and bent-backs
G
And sleeping forms on pavement steps,
C
In libraries and railway stations,
Am
In books and banks,
Dm
In the pages of history
G C Am
And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes.
C
And in wheelchairs by monuments,
Am
Under tube trains, commuter accidents,
Dm
In council care and county courts,
G
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,
C
In drawing rooms and city morgues,
Am
In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,
Dm
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,
G C Am
And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes.
C Am Dm
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've
G
plundered from the pool
C Am Dm
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so
G
nearly blind
C C/G Am
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I
FEm Dm G
hear bells that chime in strange, familiar ways
C Am F G C
I recognize the hope you kindle in your eyes
F GEm Am Dm G
C F G
It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
Em Am
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the
Dm G
tears that threaten to snuff out the spark of our
C
love.
