Blind Man

[Verse 1] It don't ever rain here The sun just always shines Did I wander here one morning Or was I left behind? [Verse 2] The mist comes every dawnin' The heat comes every noon The dew comes every evening But honey, where are you? Honey, where are you? [Verse 3] I'm a blind man on the river Rowing with the tide My skin's cold and my bones shiver I need you by my sidе I need you by my side [Verse 4] The current nеver falters The river never bends I sleep here at your altar And wait for my compense [Verse 5] I'm younger, now I'm older Than I was when I come here Each day I wake up in the darkness Ready my boat and repeat my prayer My boat and repeat my prayer [Verse 6] I saw a shadow six days running And in the shape of a man It's just the shifting branches of the willow As the wind cross the bottom land [Verse 7] Your eyes, they can play tricks on you Out of the water, the moon appears In the river's deep reflection I see your face, my dear I see your face, my dear I'm a blind man on the river Rowing with the tide [Verse 8] I tie my boat up in the evening To the branches of a birch tree I woke to a shining angel above me Her wings rustlin' in the eaves [Verse 9] Her voice had fell inside me Like the night upon my cheek The distant plains of Jordan Lie lit beneath the pale moon's peak [Verse 10] I listen for the whippoorwill singin' It's just silence all night through Just the sound of my oars in the water Honey, where are you? I'm a blind man on the river Rowing with the tide
