Album: Sometime Anywhere

Loveblind

Have I told you 'bout the case
Of the man who had no face?
(Sure I have)
His wife suspected something
That's why she brought me in

We arranged to meet one night
At a bar called Aphrodite's
(on 2nd Street)
But when I looked into her eyes
I very quickly realized
The danger

The price was right
The deal was struck
I don't think that she gave it a thought

It was plain to see
That the lady was
Loveblind
It was clear to see
It was clear that she was
Loveblind

Out into the foggy night
Into the city's blurry light
I drove alone
I wondered then what kind of place
Would make a man lose face

I pieced together clue by clue
Just what a faceless man would do
(It wasn't hard)
Who would he love, where would he go
Places faceless men would know
(on 2nd Street)
I was close
I was near
But that woman just wouldn't hear

It was plain to see
That the lady was
Loveblind
It was clear to see
It was clear that she was
Loveblind

Next morning came, as mornings do
I had a shave that was close to
A close shave
In the mirror, in my space
There was a man without a face

I rang my client and I banged on her door
I told her it was me that we was looking for

It was plain to see
That the lady was
Loveblind
It was clear to see
It was clear that she was
Loveblind
