lyrics

Took a long walk down to the ocean, baby, trying to know who I am. Old man, young man, crazy man, maybe, pushing my toes in the sand. All these years I thought I knew what I was looking for. But now I wonder why I never saw it walking out the door. I could hear the waves crash. (On the beach where you first kissed me). Time passing in a flash. (But there’s no time left for me). Wind blowing in my face. (I wonder if you really loved me). Not leaving any trace. Well I thought I knew what I was doing but I couldn’t visualize how to understand myself through someone else’s eyes.
Now the night is closing in and I’m singing the Blind Man Blues. Trying hard to make some sense about the things we’re supposed to do. One day I was the king of the hill, next day I was a fool. Work hard, play hard, love hard too, try to follow all the rules. Look out for what you can’t see. (I guess you never really saw me). Love isn’t for me. (You let me go too easily). Don’t let your guard down. (Why didn’t you ever try to trust me?). It’s a lonely town.
Well I feel the sunlight warm my face and I hear the seagulls call. I smell the ocean in front of me, but I can’t see you at all.
