There was once a blind girl
Eyes pale as moonlit ice
She swam out in the waters
Just to touch reflected skies
…
I thought this lovely girl
Was completely lost and helpless
But really, I was
I should have known better than this
(Chorus)
She taught me things I never thought I'd known before
Like how, when the sky is bright, the eagle starts to soar
The colors of the sunset when it's setting o'er the sea
These are wondrous things that I never thought could be
But then the loneliness set upon her frightened face
I thought I'd never see another happy place
She told all the horrid thought on her mind
As I watched the dieing stars appear in a blackening sky
(Differentiated Chorus)
She told me all the secrets of the world and more
I wanted to find her heart, to love it to the core
But so many people stood, haunting my dear path
That my wanting of sweet solace turned to terrifying wrath
…
So my body writhed in violence
As loneliness gripped my mind
Until this blinded beauty
Came and whispered from behind
…
"If you take all the hatred from humanity,
All that's left is a sliver of insanity…"
…
I watched the falling moon
As she listened to the night
My soul was held in wonder
For I loved this girl of light
(Chorus)
(Second Differentiated Chorus)
She told me all the secrets of the world and more
But this time I truly listened, as I'd never done before
There were so many things I'd never tried to even notice
When she spoke, I felt my life was starting over
…
I knew the fury of the clovers
Each time I took a step
The glory of the universe
I held a bated breath
…
The wildness of the animals
Even when they're calm
The way this loving darling
Holds my heart within her palm
…
