BLIND EYE
Stranger than the sunrise Darker than the night Fiercer than a rainstorm This is man's delight This is man's delight
Weaker than a moment And hot as any fire Blinder than the blind eye This is man's desire This is man's desire
I ran to a place in the open sea Where I pledged My life to the sun It was good for a while I could laugh, I could smile But when I woke up one day The sun had gone
So what of my meaning What am I trying to say What of my caution I’m a man anyway I’m a man anyway ---------------------------------------- Mick Box - guitar Lee Kerslake - drums Gary Thain - bass guitar Ken Hensley - keyboards David Byron - lead vocals
