Blind Man In the Rain

(for C.) I know your frustration – I can see it in your eyes The daytime teased you with idle thoughts And the nighttime wore a disguise They never give us any disclaimer An apologia at the start The only way to plunge into this race Is with an undivided heart We stammer and we choke Over words of love and pain Wearing that invisible yoke Like the blind man in the rain Like the blind man in the rain The suffering endures The seasons bear the years The roots that entangle, the boughs that Suffocate us in shadows and fears My son, look out your window There’s light behind that tree Let it lift your undivided heart To perfect totality For we stammer and we choke Over words of love and pain Wearing that invisible yoke Like the blind man in the rain Like a blind man in the rain And if you should trip and fall And there’s no one for your moans I’m deep in that alley with you My boy, you’ll not be alone Tho we stammer and we choke Over words of love and pain Wearing that invisible yoke Like a blind man in the rain Just like the blind man in the rain
