Blind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder

I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew you were needed
Till I found myself standing here alone

And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons

It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

[Verse 2]
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing

It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

Cover art for Blind lyrics by Deep Purple

This song is clearly about loneliness, and how you just don't see the important things in life, as if you were blind. I also think that it is about how peoples lifes can change so fast and sometimes just collapse over one night. It is strange that no one has commented this song before me.. I love this song so much, I would say that it is one of the best songs ever written by deep purple.

yeah, i love this song too, but here, where i living, brazil, is very hard to find someone who at least know this song.

Cover art for Blind lyrics by Deep Purple

Well, currently they have the lyrics to "When A Blind Man Cries" (by Ian Gillan), not the lyrics to "Blind" (by Jon Lord from the "Deep Purple" album).

Jon's lyrics are very poetic - it's a shame he didn't (to my knowledge) write lyrics after this album, I think they let the singer write them afterwards.

This song is very sad/melancholy and maybe represents the loss/separation of a romantic love or maybe just someone important in one's life. (E.g. loss of a parent).

Never knew you were needed Till I found myself standing here alone

Here's the correct lyrics: [Verse 1] I see reflections in the water Autumn colours, summer's daughter And as as the year is growing older I see winter on my shoulder

I stand in the haze Watching stormy ripples grow on my own Never knew you were needed Till I found myself standing here alone

And in the water, such a sad face Slowly drowning, such a sad face If only I could change the seasons Like a poet, I've my reasons

It started to snow in the middle of July Wonder why Never did understand you My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky...
