|
Standing alone in a crowded room ,he hears it |
|
A voice so familiar,not unlike his own,he fears it |
|
His name being called out from across the room, but he can't see |
|
He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice,but each step leads |
|
Into a dance with a different stranger |
|
His purpose he quickly forgets |
|
Each dance delights till the song is through |
|
But the silence between the songs reminds him what he'd intended to |
|
Do But the voice----- |
|
It knows no time----- |
|
Waits patiently |
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see |
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously |
|
He moves towards the voice,more determined now but still can't see |
|
The music begins and he's pulled away again ,by flattery |
|
Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate |
|
All puffed up,but silence,,when the music ends,quickly deflates |
|
Now the voice,though never changing, begins to sound to him like a |
|
Shriek He covers his ears with his hands |
|
Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly |
|
Submerged in the darkness he's forgotten what he was to be |
|
But the voice----- |
|
It knows no time----- |
|
Waits jealouly |
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see |
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently |
|
He cannot see the floor is wet, nor does he hear the strangers warn |
|
He slips onto his back and,lying paralyzed,he feels forlorn |
|
The music begins,and strangers whom he trusted leave him there |
|
Helpless and immoblile lying on the floor----and no one cares |
|
But the voice that once was distant sounds as thought it;s right next to |
|
His ear And no longer the shrieking does he hear |
|
The voice says "WALK" and,suddenly, he knew he would |
|
It says"REMOVE THE BLINDFOLD", suddenly he knew he always |
|
Could But the voice----- |
|
It knows no time----- |
|
Waits patiently |
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see |
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously |
|
But the voice----- |
|
It knows no time----- |
|
Waits jealously |
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see |
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently [Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick] [Lyrics: T.Leonard] |
