lyrics

Well I travel the highway
You know I made many scenes
Been lost in darkness
I was out on the streets
I felt so unhappy
You’d think I wanted to die
But if I have your sweet, sweet love
I know I’ll get by

This old world is turning
Like wheels on a train
I hold on to each moment
Cause it won't come again (let me tell you)
I'm not educated
But there's one thing I know

I'd rather be blind
Than to see you go

I feel that for strong man
Knows how to be weak
And it makes me feel so good
Every time, every time
Every time he speaks
Revelation
He’s got a revelation in his smile
It feels so much like in heaven
You know I might stick around a little while

Don't leave me darling
Whatever you do
If I'm standing beside you
I know we'll get through
There’s is only one thing
That I want you to know

I'd rather be blind
Than to see you go
