Blown Away

Blown Away
(Barry Keenan)

Blinded by the sun
I was floating in the sand
Searching in the heart of me
Somewhere where I could land

I heard you in a distant haze
Distorting out my name
I thought that I was dreaming
When the clouds began to rain

I was blown away
I was blown away

I don’t look at tabletops
From underneath a chair
I can hold on to a vision
When the image isn’t there
When I had you in my sights
You zapped me in the eye
I thought I was invincible
I felt like I could fly

I was blown away
I was blown away
I was blown away

Do you think that I’m a fool
Or simply I’m naive
I guess the two of us will know
The answer when I leave
That I should live a tortured life
Is plain and so routine
I could whisper that I love you
But you only make me scream

I was blown away
Blown Away
I was blown away

I don’t hear my bird sing
When it’s dark inside it’s cage
I don’t think you really understand
The wisdom in your rage
Give me love, give me sex
What’s running through your mind
Is a moment’s worth of pleasure
Worth the rest of our lifetime?

I was blown away
I was blown away
I was blown away
I was blown away

Hear in the sunshine
I feel I’m freezing to death

I was blown away
I was blown away
I was blown away
I was blown away
