Blind Lyrics

(Lord)

Jon plays harpsichord on this track, which is a love song, sort of squeezed into the format of a twelve bar blues. The middle section is a descending chromatic sequence which is intended to give a sort of "slowing down" effect.

I see reflections in the water

Autumn colours, summer's daughter

And as as the year is growing older

I see winter on my shoulder

I stand in the haze

Watching stormy ripples grow on my own

Never knew your needed

Till I found myself standing here alone

And in the water, such a sad face

Slowly drowning, such a sad face

If only I could change the seasons

Like a poet, I've my reasons

It started to snow in the middle of July

Wonder why

Never did understand you

My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

In the summer days we flew to the sun

On melting wings

But the seasons changed to fast

Leave us all behind

Blind

But then the stone fell on the water

Putting end to summer's daughter

And me, I turn away remembering

All the seasons, such a sad thing

It started to rain in the middle of the sun

Winter's begun

Never did understand you

My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

In the summer days we flew to the sun

On melting wings

But the seasons changed to fast

Leave us all behind

Blind
