lyrics

The Blindman's Window-

There's a shape in the window that's the silhouette
of a sad man going blind.
He's staring intently at the images that he's storing in his mind.

But, he finds it hard to see.
The sun has set so deep and he's dumb with confusion.
Now his world is turning gray without the light of day.
Is it just a trick creeping slow through his eyes?
Is he really going blind?

There's a place in the window that's the resting place
of the madman and he's cold.
With just recollection of the many things in a lifetime
he'll never again behold.

If he had the wishes three he'd ask that he could see
and be free of the darkness.
With a shadow on his heart it's tearing him apart.
Every time he thinks that it's some sort of trick
he grows tired and sick.

So he thinks of his chance to surrender.
He won't last long behind the blindfold
of permanence and pain and his suffering.
So he thinks, "Must I live like this for Eternity?"
And he thinks, "How can I be so brave to go through
this struggle as a slave to the darkness?"

There's a face in the window that's a tragic mask
of the blindman so afraid.
The view in his memory starts to disappear
as the pictures start to fade.

Now he loses all control.
The man has lost his soul and his search for solutions.
So he puts it all aside and takes it all in stride
and gives in to the darkness.

There is nothing in sight. He's lost his last fight.
So he falls to his knees and surrenders
and pulls the drapes across his window.
There's nothing left to see.
