Face in the Crowd

Crowds of people I don't know

    No idea where I'll go

Look ahead and something I see

    Is that you ahead of me?

Walking faster, must catch up

    So many people, just my luck

Another glimpse, I'm sure it's you

    Just keep fighting my way through

Weaving in and out so fast

    Around the next just like the last

Desperate, tired of being alone

    Trying to dial your cell phone

Think I've lost you, start to cry

    If I can't find you think I'll die

Catch another glimpse I'm sure

    Through the crowd I must endure

Almost trip over some old guy

    Just a blank look in his eye

I look ahead to seek you out

    Bite my lip so I don't shout

Like a beacon calling me

    You feel like my destiny

I catch up, reach out to you

    You turn around and I withdrew

Facing me it's someone else

    Put my heart back on a shelf

As my ears start ringing loud

    Stare at just a face in the crowd.
