If I Could See Your Face Again Songtext
von Steve Earle

Well, I′ve lived here all my life
Don't know why I′m still surprised
That the sunset comes so early to this valley
And if I'm not on my toes
The twilight comes and goes
And I'm all alone with darkness all around me
But if I could see your face again
Black with coal until your grin
Cuts like sunshine through the shadow of the mountain
I′d drop everything and run
Like I know I shoulda done
Every time you come home to me in the evenin′
But tonight's just like the night before
Ain′t nobody walkin' through that door
If I could touch you one more time


Just to hold your hand in mine
I′d never let it go again, I promise
And maybe we would find a town
Where dreams aren't buried underground
And not so many ghosts around to haunt us
And every breath was not a prayer
Until I turn around to find you there
If I could see your face again
And I knew what I know then
I wouldn′t make you work so hard to win me
I'd surrender to your arms
Wrapped around me safe and warm
Cause I knew you were the one from the beginning
And I'd give almost anything
If I could only see your face again
