Every stangers eyes

This is not mine.. It is by Roger Waters. But I love this part of the pros and cons of hitchhiking. Seems so true to me as an addict!

In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognize...
Myself in every stranger's eyes

And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes

It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love

Thumbs up

I love Roger Waters and I love this song.

His solo work is SO under-appreciated, it's ridiculous.

Totally agree with you. The pros and cons, Amused to death and his new one are just plain fantastic. He is one deep man though! I see him more as a philosopher almost. Great man indeed!

I mean Amused to Death was one of the best albums ever lyrically. The things he makes you think about, simply awesome!
