Man Without A Face

Refrain:
If he could only take a walk, enjoy the sun and talk
if he could only escape from the moonlight
if he could only leave this place,
start another live with another face
have a girlfriend and hold her so tight
There was this night so many years before
a few days after the beginning of the war
somehow he couldn't fall asleep
somehow he felt a fear so deep
and as he saw the flickering light
he longed for his mom but she was out of sight
burning heat scorched down his skin
left a scar where once his face has been
Refrain
Children playing down there on the street
if his face was like a book so would they read
would they read 'bout loneliness,
'bout fear and emptiness
parents turning away from this
would they accept him or dismiss
so if he could only leave this place
leave this man without a face
Refrain
The moonlight's shining bright
but if he could feel the daylight
on his skin, on his skin
Refrain
