The Blind Boy - Momus

Bring me to the things you know

Through a landscape of cut flowers

Be my eyes and be my road

Give me all your earthly poison

For I am but a poor blind boy

And my heart is full of poison

I can never see the light

The flowers that to you look so bright

The flowers that to you look so bright

They are to me just black on black

But I can hear the sweet bird sing

And the bee on the wing

They love me, yes they love me

And to me she is so kind

Oh they love me and she loves me

Only because I’m blind

In a world of light my heart is dark

And all I see is black on black

I am but a poor blind boy

If we talk, call me Snake

Treat me kindly though I am

Sticky as electric tape

They love me, yes they love me

And to me she is so kind

They love me and she loves me

Only because I’m blind

I am but a poor blind boy

And my heart is full of poison

I can never see the light

For I am but a poor blind boy
