about

Face To Face was written on the piano and the lyrics were inspired by a book I was reading at the time. Sadly I can't remember the title. Hayley recorded in my opinion a beautiful vocal and Paul's guitars add to the strength of the song. I added a keyboard middle section and the strings at the end. It would have been nice to have a real string section, but unfortunately my budget wouldn't stretch that far - One day! The bass is my old Aria Pro II and again an original demo bass line I left alone...

lyrics

Face to Face

I see the writing on the wall
It fades into the night and then its gone
For you, my dreams will all come true
It hurts, this pain inside for you

These dreams, awaken me inside
My love has nowhere left to hide
Inside a face appears to me
Alone, I’m lost and all at sea.

How can I believe you,
When everything you say is true
How can I deceive you
When you look at me and all I see is you

Our Time is only for tonight
And now my body’s lost in time
My face is old and I’m ashamed
I ache but heart can still remain

Chorus

Cos I’m face to face with broken dreams
Your face, the face I’ve always seen

Heartaches of children we once knew
We walked with no one there just you
The stars we look but we don’t see
The light is waiting there for me

Cos I’m face to face with broken dreams
Your face, the face I’ve always seen

Cos I’m face to face with broken dreams
Your face, the face I’ve always seen
