I sailed

away from an island
Em

to an island across the earth

And I worked at adopting their style

and their customs for all

I was worth
D
Em
G
Bm
Am
And I rose to my present position,
Em
G
and I gained some celebrity
Am
D
C
Now I bask in their praise
G
C
and conditional love,
Am
D
but who do they see?
B
Em
G
The face of a stranger,
Em
Am
who can't even say
Em
G
The face of a stranger,
C#dim
a mask made for covering
C
G
passions and pain
Am
G
But lately I'm wondering what did I gain

So I fly myself back to their island
Em
Bm
Am
To the weed and the tractor weeds
D
C
And I show them my sunny boy smile
G
C
Am
D
And I know they contend it conceals
Em
The face of a stranger
G
Am
No longer at home
G

in that house on the hill
Em
The face of a stranger

The boy that they raised

there's gone without trace

And even the families built in their place

I would be off on my own
Am
D
G
Exploring the Earth's empty ends
C

Then why am I lonely,
Bb
Eb
surrounded by family and friends?
D
Em
G
Am
They tell you no man is an island,
Em
G
but to me that's not how it seems
Am
D
G
I think every man is an island
C
Am
of secrets and longings
D
Em
An invisible ocean
G

surrounds us.
Em
Those who love us reach
G

just the shores.

It astounds us
C

how well we keep playing our roles.

With the face of a stranger,
G
Am
who peers in bright windows
G
B
from out in the dark.

The face of a stranger,
