《Face of a Stranger》歌词

[00:00:00] Face Of A Stranger - Stephen Schwartz

[00:00:15] I sailed away from an island

[00:00:19] To an island across the earth

[00:00:22] And I worked at adopting their style and their customs

[00:00:26] For all I was worth

[00:00:29] And I rose to my present position

[00:00:33] And I gained some celebrity

[00:00:37] Now I bask in their praise and conditional love

[00:00:41] But who do they see

[00:00:44] The face of stranger

[00:00:47] Who can't even say who he is anymore

[00:00:51] The face of a stranger

[00:00:54] A mask made for covering passions and pain

[00:00:58] But lately I'm wondering what did I gain

[00:01:01] When I see in my mirror the face of a stranger

[00:01:24] Come home and visit your dad boy

[00:01:27] Calls my mum from across the sea

[00:01:31] He's not young anymore and he's sad boy

[00:01:34] Though he won't admit it to me

[00:01:38] So I fly myself back to their island

[00:01:42] To the wheat and the tractor wheels

[00:01:46] And I show them my sonny-boy smile and I know

[00:01:50] They can tell it conceals

[00:01:53] The face of a stranger

[00:01:55] No longer at home in that house on the hill

[00:02:00] The face of a stranger

[00:02:02] The boy that they raised there is gone without trace

[00:02:07] And even the family he's built in their place

[00:02:10] Regard him with love

[00:02:12] But they're loving the face of a stranger

[00:02:18] I would be off on my own

[00:02:21] Exploring the earth's empty ends

[00:02:25] Then why am I lonely

[00:02:30] Surrounded by family and friends

[00:02:37] They tell you No man is an island

[00:02:40] But to me that's not how it seems

[00:02:44] I think every man is an island

[00:02:47] Of secrets and longings and dreams

[00:02:52] An invisible ocean surrounds us

[00:02:55] Those who love us reach just the shoals

[00:02:59] Is it any surprise it astounds us

[00:03:02] How well we keep playing our roles

[00:03:06] With the face of a stranger

[00:03:08] Who peers in bright windows from out in the dark

[00:03:13] The face of a stranger

[00:03:16] And even the woman I most truly love

[00:03:20] She tells me I wear an emotional glove

[00:03:23] But I laugh it off with the smiling face of a stranger

[00:03:48] Darling have you seen the children

[00:03:52] Yes they're out playing Pirates-at-Sea

[00:03:56] Ah well let me just pay this last bill then

[00:04:00] And we can sit down and have tea
