Momus - The Blind Boy lyrics

Bring me to the things you know Through a landscape of cut flowers Be my eyes and be my road Give me all your earthly poison For I am but a poor blind boy And my heart is full of poison I can never see the light The flowers that to you look so bright The flowers that to you look so bright They are to me just black on black But I can hear the sweet bird sing And the bee on the wing They love me, yes they love me And to me she is so kind Oh they love me and she loves me Only because I'm blind In a world of light my heart is dark And all I see is black on black I am but a poor blind boy If we talk, call me Snake Treat me kindly though I am Sticky as electric tape They love me, yes they love me And to me she is so kind They love me and she loves me Only because I'm blind I am but a poor blind boy And my heart is full of poison I can never see the light For I am but a poor blind boy
