5:06AM (Every Strangers Eyes)

You wanna cup of coffee

Heh Turn that f**king juke box down

You want to turn down that juke box loud in here

I'm sorry would you like a cup of coffee

Ok you take cream and sugar Sure

In truck stops and hamburger joints

In Cadillac limousines

In the company of has beens

And bent backs

And sleeping forms on pavement steps

In libraries and railway stations

In books and banks

In the pages of history

In suicidal cavalry attacks

I recognise

Myself in every stranger's eyes

And in wheelchairs by monuments

Under tube trains and commuter accidents

In council care and county courts

At Easter fairs and sea side resorts

In drawing rooms and city morgues

In award winning photographs

Of life rafts on the China seas

In transit camps under arc lamps

On unloading ramps

In faces blurred by rubber stamps

I recognise

Myself in every stranger's eyes

And now from where I stand

Upon this hill

I plundered from the pool

I look around

I search the skies

I shade my eyes

So nearly blind

And I see signs of half remembered days

I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

I recognise

The hope you kindle in your eyes

It's oh so easy now

As we lie here in the dark

Nothing interferes it's obvious

How to beat the tears

That threaten to snuff out

The spark of our love
