Lyrics Holy Holy – Faces

Faces and faces and faces and faces
I take the street and you take the paces
It was so lonely I couldn’t make it
I coulda known for the love of a lover

Ages and ages and ages and ages
Valleys are made by the creeping of glaciers
I couldn’t make it better than it would have been
I was a lie in the life of another

Faces of races and strangers and wasters
Beautiful hatred composed into phrases
Vacan and baseless and faded and famous

You’ve been waiting for the fire, time to burn these hills again

Out here I can taste it, there is winter in the air
I can hear the mopoke calling, I can feel the blackbird stare
And the wind will soon be coming, and the river can’t be far
You got something, you can find me where the waters, where the stars, and where I fall

Where I fall
