Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus] I'm looking to be by a window That looks out on the sea Anybody here know Where such a place is? [Chorus] Surf of golden sunlight Breaking over me Man of a thousand faces [Verse 1] In the garden paths take form But the hailstorm guards its own Things forbidden, things unknown You must travel on alone [Verse 2] In memoriam friends come round But the hard ground holds its own Time for pulling, time to ride It's my turn but where's the guide? [Verse 3] On the jetty shadows lie And the gulls cry once or twice Swelling thunder, truth is hid Behind the glass eye of the idol Anybody here know Where such a place is? [Pre-Chorus] You know, these city towers Jewels on the serpent's crown Twist the space between them Till every eye is blinded [Chorus] Lord will you trade your sunlit ocean With its writhing filigree For any one of my thousand faces?
