Faces in the Dark Lyrics

The Siamese cat in the hallway staring at the vines

Painted long ago always makes me smile

The rusty bike in the basement where I was afraid to go

I'll fix it up someday I know I said that before

And it's all fading bit by bit

Like these old photographs

Smiling faces in the dark

Waiting patiently

For my smiling face

To join them on the wall

The pines were over there you can still see the stumps

Reaching for the sky they might get there in the end

This familiar furniture the 60s never went away

They are still lingering here along with all these memories

And there's no other place I'd rather be

There's no other place I'd rather sleep

And it's all fading bit by bit

Like these old photographs

Smiling faces in the dark

Waiting patiently

For my smiling face

To join them on the wall
