I'de Rather Go Blind ~ Etta James

DAEW. December
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My shoes have fallen from my feet
A heavy head laid done to weep
I am not me, I will not sleep.

For there is a time to chase,
To think, to love, to erase.
There are hardships I cannot face.

A need, a soulful longing for your love
The petals have fallen
The leaves are changing in the night

I want the beauty to shine through
A dancing duo
One and two

Left with the words you have said
The records broken
A continuum of soft loud
no, no, no, playing in my head.

Drunken hearts
Soon depart
A inevitable betrayal of innocence now lost
You are all I ever wanted
But it came as such a cost.

If I am whole, I feel broken
If I am strong, there is a crack in my foundation
My head wrapped up within itself
A smile, a wink, a life out of sync.

My shoes have fallen from my feet
A heavy head laid done to weep
I am not me, I will not sleep.
