Whose Face Do You See When you’ve had all you’ve prayed for All the lovers of your dreams When you’ve sated all your wants Tasted all that’s sweet When your dreams have turned against you You’ve had them they’ve sickened you When all your lover’s have betrayed As lovers will often do Whose Face Do You See Whose name do you call Who comes in your dreams When night falls When all the gold you have gathered Starts to weigh on you like death When all the souls you’ve devoured Have left a foul mark on your breath When all your lovers have grown tired Of being told when’ they’ll be seen When you’re sick of your desires And forgotten what love means Whose Face Do You Whose name do you call Who comes in your dreams When night falls Whose face do you see (When all your lovers have grown tired) Name do you call (Of being told when’ they’ll be seen) Do you think of me (When you’re sick of your desires) At all (And have forgotten what love means) I’ve dreamt of you with anger Dreamt of you with revenge I’ve dreamt of you with love I’ve dreamt of you with regret I’ve dreamt of you I’ll not blame I’ll not accuse I’ve my own sins too Can’t forget but I’ll forgive The past is dead there’s life to live Whose Face Do You See Whose name do you call Who comes in your dreams When night falls Whose face do you see (When all your lovers have grown tired) Name do you call (Of being told when’ they’ll be seen) Do you think of me (When you’re sick of your desires) At all (And have forgotten what love means) Whose Face Do You See
