Look on Your Face

Spent a little time in Babylon I got clothes on the line in Avalon Made up my mind to travel on I done a lot of takin' Now it's time for me to do a little bringin' Time for me to do a little bringin' I saw the look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' The people you'd save The babies you'd bathe The look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' I'm sleepin' down at the train depot The engines in my head just come and go I'm cuddled up with Edgar Allan Poe I done a lot of writin' Now it's time for me to do a little readin' It's time for me to do a little readin' In the look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' The paths you might dare The laughs you might share The look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' I'm tuned in to the radio It seems the more we learn the less we know I had to pull the plug on the stereo I done a lot of listenin' Now it's time for me to do a little speakin' Time for me to do a little speakin' About the look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' The gardens you'd grow The truth that you'd know The look on your face while you were dreamin' The look on your face while you were dreamin' The sight in your eyes while you're sleepin' The words on your tongue that you're breathin' The smile on your lips that's conceivin' There's something in me worth receivin' Now there's something in me that's believin' In the look on your face while you're dreamin' The look on your face while you're dreamin' Holdin' up my ear to the telephone There ain't nothin' here but a dial tone Guess I'll hang it up, head back home I'll be hangin' out my laundry On the line where the blackbird is singin' In every line that the blackbird is singin' About the look on your face while you're dreamin' The look on your face while you're dreamin' The feathers you'd bathe The blackbird you'd save With the look on your face while you're dreamin' The look on your face while you're dreamin'
