The Blind Man
Music and lyrics: Mikael Ramel / 1974

Original title: "Blinde Mannen"
Lyrics into english: Roy Colgate

See how you stand there – you always stand there –
a blind musician are you.
How well you hear them – footsteps that pass unseen.
First loud and clear then – lost in some dream machine.
You can´t see them they´re all out of view.
Dirty city – your songs make it pretty –
although the streets may be choking – still your music comes floating.

And every songs as good as your best one –
you take the words and make them all ryhme.
Can´t seem to wait to play them your next one –
maybe their ears will open in time.
Still the money rolls into your hat for sure-conciences must be clean and pure.

See how you stand there – your one-man band there –
but no-one sees you it seems.
Your heart is your guide – you give but don´t receive.
Singing out from inside – there´s nothing up your sleeve.
Your feelings are there in your song.
So play then – my friend go on playing.
Those who choose not to hear you – they don´t come anywhere near you.

And every songs as good as your best one –
you take the words and make them all ryhme.
Don´t stop until you´ve played them your next one –
yes, save their souls maybe there´s still time.
Let your melodies show them what living is for, they´ll be coming back for more.
Still you appear there – year after year there.
A blind musician are you.
