I'm looking for those old familiar faces   In the places I left behind   All the Townsons, Barnes and Staces   And some good old friends of mine   Because everyone is someone   That I seem to recognize   Must be the old familiar faces   In their eyes      I'm walking down these streets that have no signposts   In a language that I know   And I never will belong here   And it's clear that one day I'll go   But when I turn the corner   There's another memory   Why don't those old familiar faces   Let me be      I used to live a life without a present   And no need to go back when   But now I see the truth so clearly   And I want it her back again   She hosts the ghosts of people   In the shadows all around   Until the old familiar faces   Fill this town      Everyday I feel the sun shine stronger   On the dark side of my heart   And people look like strangers now   That I can't tell apart   So I smile and nod politely   Like they're friends that I once knew   I've found those old familiar faces   In you
