I married my wife on the day of the eclipse   Our friends awarded her courage with gifts   Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts   I look to my sorrowful wife   Who is quietly tending her flowers   Who is quietly tending her      The water is high on the beckoning river   And I made her a promise I could not deliver   And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver   Through me and my sorrowful wife   Who is shiftin' the furniture around   Who is shiftin' the furniture around      Now we sit beneath the knotted yew   And the bluebells bob up around our shoes   And the task of remembering the tell tale clues   Goes to my sorrowful wife   Who is counting the days on her fingers   Who is counting the days on her      Come on help me baby, come on now   Come on help me baby, I was a blind   The grass here grows long and high   Twists right up to the sky white clouds roll on by   Come on now and help me baby   I was a blind, I was a fool baby, I was blind      A loose wind last night blew down   Black trees bent to the ground   Their blossoms made such a sound   That I could not hear myself think baby   I was blind, I was a fool, baby   Yeah, I was blind fool, baby   I was a fool, baby, I was blind baby   Yeah fool baby   I was blind fool, baby      Blind baby   Blind baby   Blind baby   Blind baby
