Blind Leading The Blind

When the chips are down

And you're blinded on your feet

You're standing up and walking

But you know you are dead meat

The sky is busting

It's near the break of day

You're running out options

Running out of place

The leaves are cracking

Withered on the trees

Beg you darling

Won't you say a prayer for me

I need your benediction

'Cause I'm a soul in need

I can't sit down much lower

'Cause I'm on my knees

After the wine, the tears they are gushing

Time after time you won't let the love in

You are the sharpest knife

You are the finest blade

You are the shining sun

Everybody's in your shade

So funny to you

Dripping honey from your tongue

But you never know what's going on

When the day is done

There is a sadness

Just grinding in your bones

A twisted trap down

Which you're forced to go

You need the hand of friendship

To steady up your heart

So hang on to me baby

I'll show you down the path

Asking me why

You won't let the love in

Only to find your feelings are nothing

After the wine, your tears

They are gushing, gushing

Just like you'll find it's leading

To nothing, nothing oh

Oh, yeah

Time after time

It's leading to nothing

Nothing nothing, not a thing

After the wine, the tears they are

Gushing, gushing, gushing
