Friendly Familiar Faces Lyrics by Paul Morricone

Cruel Designs

0

I often dream a promised land
Where we can be accepted and where we are free
And I can't help imagining
That there are shiny apples filling every tree
All of this is possible
I just close my eyes and I can see
Those friendly familiar faces
Wait in all the usual places
They've come there to greet me
Of every race and every species
Thе starlings only sing for me
In this new world that I see
I often drеam of miracles
Where all I love is woven in a tapestry
When all rebuilding work is done
I'll sit with lambs and tigers either side of me
Anything is possible
I just close my eyes and I can see
Those friendly familiar faces
Wait in all the usual places
They've come there to greet me
Of every race and every species
The starlings only sing for me
In this new world that I see
In this new world that I see
In this new world that I see
In this new world that I see
[Hidden bonus track]
Hanging by the village gate
My cage is there for all to see
I'm still alive but only just
They swing the (?) from a tree
People pass and catch my eye
But I'm not human anymore
They wait as I deteriorate
Let this be a lesson to you all
Let this be a lesson to you all
A boy walks by and stops and stares
He's never seen a corpse before
His mother tries to shield his eyes
He can't unsee my demise
Women gloat at my expense
They talk about me in past tense
Oh, wait as I deteriorate
Let this be a lesson to you all
A year and then a day
That's when the cage will fall
That's when the curtain calls
I'll be just a memory
Mistress Anne remember me
Mistress Anne remember me
Well I was taken to the glow
And given one last mug of ale
Pulled from the (?) and depart
A son will live and hear the tale
A victim of my circumstance
A lesson to you miscreants
Oh, wait as I deteriorate
Let this be a lesson to you all
A year and then a day
That's when the cage will fall
That's when the curtain calls
I'll be just a memory
Mistress Anne remember me
Mistress Anne remember me
