Old Tom lies blind, tell me what do you see
What do you shake your locks when you look at me?
Oh, love is blind, love is blind, I see utter in descent
You canât see the diamond for the sequins in your hand.
Old Tom, speak softly, tell me what do I do,
If it went for my eyes, Iâd be blinded like you.
For I cannot see further than this once promised land.
I canât see the diamonds for the sequins in my hand.
Oh, love unravels like tumbling sea,
Unraveling love, where do you carry me?
If I drown in your eyes, make it easy for me,
Let me die before I ever know youâre gone away from me.
Old Tom lies blind, tell me what do you say
Why do you shake your head so sadly,
Why do you turn and look away?
Oh, lost tights under columns, I will never understand
If I canât see the diamonds for the sequins in my hand.
Oh, hold me close, like you used to do before,
Iâve come a long way since you went from my door.
And though I rage, oh, how I need you,
Wonât you take me by my hand?
Wonât you help me find my way back home through this blinding set?
Oh, love unravels like a tumbling sea,
Unraveling love, where do you carry me?
Iâve seen how you sparkle when I let you float free,
Wonât you take me once more to your breast
Before youâre gone from me?
Oh, you sparkled like a diamond when I let you float free,
Wonât you take me once more to your breast
Before youâre gone from me?
