5:06 AM (Every Strangers Eyes)

Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?

I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?

Ok you take cream and sugar?

In truck stops and hamburger joints

In Cadillac limousines

In the company of has-beens

And bent-backs and sleeping forms

On pavement steps

In libraries and railway stations

In books and banks

In the pages of history

In suicidal cavalry attacks

I recognise...

Myself in every stranger's eyes

And now from where I stand

Upon this hill I plundered from the pool

I look around, I search the skies

I shade my eyes, so nearly blind

And I see signs of half remembered days

I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

I recognise...

The hope you kindle in your eyes

It's oh so easy now

As we lie here in the dark

Nothing interferes it's obvious

How to beat the tears

That threaten to snuff out

The spark of our love
