Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again Lyrics
Went down to Santa Fe, where Renoir paints the walls,
described you clearly, but the sky began to fall
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Trams cars and taxis, like a wax-works on the move
carrying young girls past me, but none of them are you
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Without you near me I got no place to go
wait at the bar, maybe you might show
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
I got to stop these tears that's falling from my eye
go walk out in the rain, so no one sees me cry
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Can't stop the memory that goes climbing through my brain
I get no answer so the question still remains
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
described you clearly, but the sky began to fall
carrying young girls past me, but none of them are you
wait at the bar, maybe you might show
go walk out in the rain, so no one sees me cry
I get no answer so the question still remains

No way get fucked fuck off.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA is a rather picturesque city and is well known as a sort of artist's colony. Renoir was known for his very effective use of color, which fits with the look and feel of Santa Fe and also had a strong draw for the female form, so I think Doc was exercising his artistic license in painting an image in the song. Trams are all over in Australia, so that would fit. The "wax-works on the move" image can be seen in some other things in film like the ending scenes in the movie "Fail Safe", as the bombs start falling on New York, Director Sidney Lumet juxtaposed motion of New Yorkers with freeze frames of the motion to great dramatic effect. Also, think of the shadow images of people cast on walls in Hiroshima when the Bomb fell there. And as to the "continually looking for the woman in the song" how many times have you "seen" someone after you've lost them? Doc really shined in his use of imagery in this one.
