Dan Fogelberg - False Faces Lyrics

Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas to divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and jealous betrayals
Get you further afar
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Hostile hotel walls, footfalls and phone calls
And you're on the line
Gentle coercions and bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly cost me the fight
Broke through the ice and got cut down to size
And escaped through the night
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home

Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas to divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and jealous betrayals
Get you further afar
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Hostile hotel walls, footfalls and phone calls
And you're on the line
Gentle coercions and bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly cost me the fight
Broke through the ice and got cut down to size
And escaped through the night
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
