Okkervil River
Dead Faces
[Verse 1]
And we have fun we go laughing and running down to the water there by the sea
Where the body just floats like a rowboat and the moon's like a harbor light lit in the sky
And this picture's got a woman who looks like you and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen
When it turns out, I hope that it turns out, I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed

[Verse 2]
Embarcadero train station's empty and I just cannot believe how long it takes
All the way home through the city everyone's looking at least, it's nice to believe everyone's looking
This picture's got a woman who looks like you and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen
When it turns out, I hope that it turns out, I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed

[Bridge]
Ghostly faces at my living room window they are not scared of me cause they know I can't hurt them
They press up and see, in the lamp glow, all of the hurt and the love inside of me

[Verse 4]
It's their final duty
To see right through me
Twelve hours 'til the dawn
But we've got to hold on
Hold on to me, cause then we'll keep running

[Outro]
Down to the water this morning, well nobody waits for you to believe
In ghosts lit by moonlight or dawning, or in this picture of you and me
