Bluesy neo-soul song, with a rich, smooth vocal delivery from Cathy Lemons, some great, funky guitar parts, a fabulous guitar solo from Kid Andersen and also a very fin harmonica part by Phil Berkowitz.
lyrics
People are snapping, their fingers in my face
Tyrin’ to get my attention, to see if I’m awake
Oh it’s like I know, the very price of my own soul
I wanted somebody to be my side, now I feel no pleasure
Maybe it’s just my pride
Oh I can’t see, what is in front of me
Oh love is Blind
Ya, love is blind
Maybe someday I’ll leave it all behind
Just leave it all behind
The things I remember, a thousand-eyed stare
Through the eye of the needle, and now no one is there
Oh, I wish I was strong, surely I will not last long
Oh Love is Blind
I tell you love, love is blind
Maybe someday I’ll leave it all behind
Just leave it all behind
Confusing money for virtue, accomplishment for luck
Birth for talent, babe, just a diamond in the rough
Oh what is the matter with me
When everyone else can see
Oh Love is Blind
Love is blind
Maybe someday I’ll leave it all behind
Just leave it all behind
I tell you love is blind
I tell you love is blind
I tell you love is blind
I tell you love is …. blind.
