Man in Front of Me

Your heart if it exists Is like a swinging brick A pendulum for marking time A trail of broken hearts Happiness torn apart Not bothered by your callous crime To see the face I never knew A photograph comes into view There's no connection I can see With the man in front of me Cold as a block of ice To say there's nothing nice Lovers the story never knew You're beauty and the beast They famine while you feast There in the sun and skies so blue A face I never thought I'd see In black and white it looks at me The puzzle pieces in the end They fall in front of me Unhappy with your life You told another wife Already sights on fields afar Another journey's end Casually upend Reveal the devil that you are The face I never thought I'd see In black and white it looks at me The puzzle pieces in the end They fall in front of me No stone is left to turn The truth a heart can burn It can't be changed by way of prayer With this image I hold No lie can now be told I'll close the book on the affair
