Blind Girl With Halo

The girl is blind and beautiful,
I’m honour bound and dutiful,
Her head is warm, her skin is cool and she’s got religion in a big way.
She says those hands are healing hands,
I bet she’s travelled many lands,
But I bet she’s never met a man who understands her quite the way that I do.
And how was I supposed to know that she’s the one betrothed,
To a catholic guy with stronger faith then I,
Just as I was on my knees with a golden ring between my teeth,
Her fingers said she’s someone elses bride.
Oh she’ll never see the beauty I can see,
Oh she’ll never see her own sweet bonny face.
A rejection note written in braille,
Hear my smoke filled larynx wail,
Cigarettes make me feel alone and her voice gives the lonely tone to my song.

(That’s Ant on harmonica and xylophone and me on melodion.)
