Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

A Blind Step Away

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

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

He never knew how much she loved him

Standing there a step away

His eyes tied--blind man's bluff--

A blind step away

He was always reaching, reaching

Never knew where comfort lay

He never knew how much she loved him

A blind step away

Around he spins and around he spins

Darkness is his whole domain

Truth, dare, kiss, promise

Aren't you tired of party games?

He never knew how much she loved him

Standing there a step away

His eyes tied--blind man's bluff--

A blind step away
