Ed Beaumont - Faces in the Street Lyrics

You sang when the man came to take you away
He dragged you through the street
And you laughed at the faces who swore you were wrong
Before you kicked your feet
And the voices would stay until the very end
The only thing left you could call a true friend
And the grin on your face was not merely pretending to greet
The faces in the street

You thought that he told you the things you must know
You trusted the words he had said
Until the cold day they brought you away from the tree that would soon be dead
He said he cared so much for you
But all those letters you read were not true
So now you must know that the only thing left to do
Is escape the hospital bed
Escape the hospital bed
Escape the hospital bed

You sang when the man came to take you away
He dragged you through the street
And you laughed at the faces who swore you were wrong
Before you kicked your feet
And the voices would stay until the very end
The only thing left you could call a true friend
And the grin on your face was not merely pretending to greet
The faces in the street
