Blind Faith
Gerry Rafferty · Other Songs - Gerry Rafferty
You came a-knockin', knockin' on my door?
Yeah you really got me going
But you kept me on ice
I didn't care where I was going
No I didn't think twice.
I was just a young boy, I was so green
You were so experienced, you know what I mean
Still you really got me going
But you kept me on ice
I didn't care where I was going
No I didn't think twice.
Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop)
Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop)
We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop).
I said I never thanked you for everything you'd done
I had to do a lot of walking before I could run
Still you really got me going
But you kept me on ice
I didn't care where I was going
No I didn't think twice.
(fade)
Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop)
Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop)
We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop).
