Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEC FGGHIIJ KLMNOP| I am blind you outsiders It is a curse | A |
| a contradiction a tiresome farce | B |
| and every day I despair | C |
| I put my hand on the arm of my wife | D |
| colorless hand on colorless sleeve | E |
| and she walks me through empty air | C |
| - | |
| You push and shove and think that you've been | F |
| sounding different from stone against stone | G |
| but you are mistaken I alone | G |
| live and suffer and howl | H |
| In me there is an endless outcry | I |
| and I can't tell what's crying whether its my | I |
| broken heart or my bowels | J |
| - | |
| Are the tunes familiar You don't sing them like this | K |
| how could you understand | L |
| Each morning the sunlight comes into your house | M |
| and you welcome it as a friend | N |
| And you know what it's like to see face to face | O |
| and that tempts you to be kind | P |
