"Blind Man" lyrics - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

It don't ever rain here
The sun just always shines
Did I wander here one morning
Or was I left behind?

The mist comes every dawnin'
The heat comes every noon
The dew comes every evening
But honey, where are you?
Honey, where are you?

I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide
My skin's cold and my bones shiver
I need you by my side
I need you by my side

The current never falters
The river never bends
I sleep here at your altar
And wait for my compense

I'm younger, now I'm older
Than I was when I come here
Each day I wake up in the darkness
Ready my boat and repeat my prayer
My boat and repeat my prayer

I saw a shadow six days running
And in the shape of a man
It's just the shifting branches of the willow
As the wind cross the bottom land

[Verse 7]
Your eyes, they can play tricks on you
Out of the water, the moon appears
In the river's deep reflection
I see your face, my dear
I see your face, my dear
I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide

[Verse 8]
I tie my boat up in the evening
To the branches of a birch tree
I woke to a shining angel above me
Her wings rustlin' in the eaves

[Verse 9]
Her voice had fell inside me
Like the night upon my cheek
The distant plains of Jordan
Lie lit beneath the pale moon's peak

[Verse 10]
I listen for the whippoorwill singin'
It's just silence all night through
Just the sound of my oars in the water
Honey, where are you?
I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide
