  • Blow Away

    A man and a woman come together as strangers
    When they part they're usually strangers still
    It's like a practical joke played on us by our Maker
    Empty bottles that can't be filled

    Baby who's to say it could have been different now that it's done
    Baby who's to say that it should have been, anyway
    Baby who's to say that it even matters in the long run
    Give it just a minute
    And it will blow away
    It'll blow away

    You fancy me to be the master of your feelings
    You barely bruise me with your looks to kill
    Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings
    I never held you against your will

    Your case against me is so very clearly stated
    I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug
    I've come to figure all importance overestimated
    You must mean water when you beg for blood (note 1)

    Like a feather in a whirlwind
    Blow away
    Just as sure as the world spins
    Blow away

    Notes(1) a variant is "You must mean water when you get on your knees and you beg me for blood"

When they part they're usually strangers still
It's like a practical joke played on us by our Maker
Empty bottles that can't be filled

Baby who's to say it could have been different now that it's done
Baby who's to say that it should have been, anyway
Baby who's to say that it even matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
And it will blow away
It'll blow away

You fancy me to be the master of your feelings
You barely bruise me with your looks to kill
Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings
I never held you against your will

Your case against me is so very clearly stated
I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug
I've come to figure all importance overestimated
You must mean water when you beg for blood (note 1)

Like a feather in a whirlwind
Blow away
Just as sure as the world spins
Blow away
