Blind Man Running By the Light of the Night

There's only one way down a dead-end road Drug dealers don't make good friends Spend your whole life chasing your nose Just sniffing in the Wind I met my guardian guardrail Smoking angel dust all day I'm glad they were there to grab me Because I thought I could fly away And I'll fly away Flew away Just flied away I found the blind man running By the light of the night He had the answer in his hand I read what it said aloud "Your God's your only friend" His smile must have been Stretching from ear-to-ear "By God" said the blind man "Thats what I thought I'd hear" If he only knew how scared I was I would shed a tear That's when he said "I may be blind But I can see your fear" And I'll cry away Cry away Just cried away I've been climbing the cliffs of life Grass blade by blade But I keep on slipping on Mistakes I've made With an outstretched arm I yelled for you To help emerging me from it all But your little white nose lies Just drounded out my calls My whole life flashed in front of my eyes During that fatal fall You were the last clump of grass I grabbed But you had no roots at all And I'll fall away Fall away Just fell away Cry away I'll fly away
