Blind

Blind
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
