Lyrics

Sit around – and hang around – this day slowly goes
And hang around – and look around
Watching people come – watching people go
This day is long – this sun is hot
Wondering what is what – and what is really not

Chorus

And can you see these people – rushing around?
And can you see the clock hands – move slowly around?
And can you see that face – his face – in the crowd?
Can you see that face? – a face - in the crowd – alone….

And stick around – then hang around
Then pushing onward – through the crowd
And talk a lot – of what is what
And surely what is not allowed
Have you time - to see him now?
Have you any time at all?
A problem shared – can be a problem spared
Can you listen to a desperate – a desperate call?

Chorus

And can you see these people – rushing around?
And can you see the clock hands – move slowly around?
And can you see that face – a face – in the crowd?
Can you see that face? – a face - in the crowd – alone…. alone….. alone
– alone…. alone…..

See the time – what’s the time?
It’s come – to half past five
And once again – the rushing starts
Time for some – to come alive
See his face – what’s his face?
Did you ever really – know his name?
Out of luck – and come un-stuck
It’s the nature of the – nature of that city game

Chorus
And can you see these people – rushing around?
And can you see the clock hands – move slowly around?
And can you see his face – that face – in the crowd?
Can you see that face? – a face - in the crowd – alone….alone…. alone….. alone.
Like a needle in a haystack
