Strawbs - Song For Alex lyrics

rate me

I've been many places, I've passed through many cities<br />

Paris to Toronto and the rest<br />

The travelling can bring you down, you're always on your own<br />

But I see friendly faces everywhere.<br />

<br />

From a song that pulls your heartstrings to a sea of smiling faces<br />

Oh, but a careless word can make you feel so sad<br />

But in the end I add things up and I find it's all worthwhile<br />

When I see friendly faces everywhere.<br />

<br />

The windswept streets are empty when my working day is over<br />

And I always think of home last thing at night<br />

Then I close my eyes and fall asleep for I know that in my dreams<br />

That I'll see friendly faces everywhere.
