An empty plain, it loomed ahead The horizon, no river bed that I could see, poor me Don't take off just yet The purple dusk, it lines the road Your silhouette dances with it, oh you must be cold But you'd never say Dear, I couldn't be so bold to try 'Cause in your eyes I'd go blind I'd go blind ♪ A blood-red rose rests on your ear Though I can't recall when you had put it there, I stare Hours slide on Into the night, ignore our plight The eggshell road gathers up our thoughts and eats us whole I'll gladly go Dear, I couldn't be so bold to try 'Cause in your eyes I'd go blind I'd go blind I'd go blind I'd go blind
