susan's song

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.
