Blind Man
Aerosmith · Icon [2012]
I went to night school for the blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya
But nothing seemed to light my fuse
But it's all in the past
Like a check that's in the mail
She was a tall whiskey glass
I was an old hound dog that just loved to chase his tail
Until I met a - blind man
Who taught me how to see
A blind man
Who could change night into day
And if ah, I can
I'm gonna make you come with me, yeah
Because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've had some lovers like a joy ride
Some things are never what they seem
My heaven's turned into a landslide
I thank God I woke up from the dream
I met a - blind man
Who taught me how to see, yeah
A blind man
Who could change night into day
And if ah, I can
I'm gonna make you come with me, yeah
Because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds away
The way bees chase honey
And drink all the flowers dry
We'll be saving us a little money
And if that don't do it, yeah, I know the reason why
Don't make no sense lightin' candles
There's too much moonlight in our eyes
I met a - blind man
Who taught me how to see, yeah
Blind man
Who could change night into day
And if ah, I can
I'm gonna make you come with me, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Because here comes the sun
Ain't no surprise
Ain't no doubt about it
Gonna open up your eyes
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
