Richard Thompson
A Blind Step Away
[Verse 1]
They bind his eyes with a silken scarf
And in his ear a friend explains
The one you catch is the one you kiss
How we all love party games

[Verse 2]
All the years that she has watched him
Is this the day, oh, is this the day?
How she shakes as he approaches
A blind step away

[Verse 3]
He never knew how much she loved him
Standing there a step away
His eyes tied, blind man's bluff
A blind step away

[Verse 4]
He was always reaching, reaching
Never knew where comfort lay
He never knew how much she loved him
A blind step away

[Verse 5]
Around he spins and around he spins
Darkness is his whole domain
Truth, dare, kiss, promise
Aren't you tired of party games?
[Verse 6]
He never knew how much she loved him
Standing there a step away
His eyes tied, blind man's bluff
A blind step away
