A FACE IN THE CROWD (Blues)
---------------------------

Verse 1
Brown bar on a lonely street,
Brown bar on a lonely street,
It's early in the morning, Lord, and I can't find no sleep.

The night don't make me weary,
The night don't make me weary,
But every dream I stumble through just cuts a little deep.

Verse 2
I watch the way she moves around,
Lord, I watch the way she moves around,
Working like an angel while her feet don't touch the ground.

She's running through my mind now,
Yeah, she's running through my mind,
And I keep singing her name while the whiskey goes down.

Chorus
But she don't know me, baby,
No, she don't know me at all,
I'm just another face in the crowd,
Another shadow on the wall.

Verse 3
Every little thing she does,
Every little thing she does,
Keeps echoing through my heart like a sad old blues because.

I carry her memory,
Lord, I carry her memory,
While she keeps on walking free and never looks for me.

Chorus
She don't know me, I know,
No, she don't know me at all,
I'm just another face in the crowd,
Another shadow on the wall.

Einde
So I'll sit here with my whiskey,
Till the break of day comes around,
Thinking 'bout a woman
Who never knew I was around.

Yeah, she never knew I was around…
