And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes

And so it is just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is the colder water
The Blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind
My mind, my mind
'Til I find somebody new

    My Interpretation

    What a wonderful song to describe this ambiguity when a great love ends and somehow you are glad it's over. But merely somehow and sometimes.

    Loathing someone is as strong a feeling as loving someone deeply.

    The Blower's Daughter makes me think of an ex boyfriend, who I loved passionately and was loved back in the same way. It doesn't really matter, if two people are still together, when there had been such strong feelings. The love they shared has changed them forever and thus the other is still a part of you. Either you like it or not. I wish him all the best, I don't loathe him, but sometimes I miss him.
