Standing alone in a crowded room ,he hears it
|
A voice so familiar,not unlike his own,he fears it
|
His name being called out from across the room, but he can't see
|
He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice,but each step leads
|
Into a dance with a different stranger
|
His purpose he quickly forgets
|
Each dance delights till the song is through
|
But the silence between the songs reminds him what he'd intended to
|
Do
|
But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously
|
He moves towards the voice,more determined now but still can't see
|
The music begins and he's pulled away again ,by flattery
|
Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate
|
All puffed up,but silence,,when the music ends,quickly deflates
|
Now the voice,though never changing, begins to sound to him like a
|
Shriek
|
He covers his ears with his hands
|
Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly
|
Submerged in the darkness he's forgotten what he was to be
|
But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealouly
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently
|
He cannot see the floor is wet, nor does he hear the strangers warn
|
He slips onto his back and,lying paralyzed,he feels forlorn
|
The music begins,and strangers whom he trusted leave him there
|
Helpless and immoblile lying on the floor----and no one cares
|
But the voice that once was distant sounds as thought it;s right next to
|
His ear
|
And no longer the shrieking does he hear
|
The voice says "WALK" and,suddenly, he knew he would
|
It says"REMOVE THE BLINDFOLD", suddenly he knew he always
|
Could
|
But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously
|
But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealously
|
Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see
|
And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently
|
