susan wants to take me
to a party over yonder
susan wants to take me
to her heart
it's a arm and tender place there
do you know
susan
i've been living here
in this fortress
and it's filled with armor
and sometimes celebrations
lose their charm
susan do you mind
sometimes i'm restless
rolling on the floor in pain and woe
after all the precious gifts you
will gladly give to me
girl
i may blindly lock and bolt the door
baby
sweet baby
i'll truly love you through my years
well it's just that sometimes
by midnight light
i'm frightened by my fears
but if you could just hold me
warm me
girl
the way you did today
and tenderly anoint my eyes
then i may see the way
susan
baby
take me to that party
'way over yonder
tell me
susan
do you mind
come on
susan
take the time
tell me
susan
do you mind
if i've been blind a long time?
i been blind a long time
sometimes
see
if you're
not careful
a little hurt
pain in your heart
will make you blind
blind to the real thing
once
it comes along
honey
can you wait
baby
can you wait for me
till i
get this thing together?
i been blind
i been blind
blind a long time
sweet susan
take the time
girl
susan
can you understand
if i say i love you
baby
tell me
susan
mama
do you mind?
girl
i been blind.
