Strawbs Song For Alex Lyrics

I've been many places, I've passed through many cities
Paris to Toronto and the rest
The travelling can bring you down, you're always on your
own
But I see friendly faces everywhere.

From a song that pulls your heartstrings to a sea of
smiling faces
Oh, but a careless word can make you feel so sad
But in the end I add things up and I find it's all worthwhile
When I see friendly faces everywhere.

The windswept streets are empty when my working day is
over
And I always think of home last thing at night
Then I close my eyes and fall asleep for I know that in
my dreams
That I'll see friendly faces everywhere.
