On a cloudy cloudy morning, I’m so empty and bereft
I’ve bashed my head against a wall (for so long)
Now I feel there’s nothing left.
It’s not a rational decision, it’s just the place we ended up
I cannot hide my feelings (any more)
I don’t want to feel this way
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
And the loving feelings linger, you’re the nicest man I know
And you know it’s not your fault at all, I’ve just discovered I’m alive
I know you want to try again dear, but everything stays the same
We’re not around for very long (in this world), the time has come to make a change
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
If I’m right or if I’m wrong the fact is we don’t get along
Let’s call it a day and start to live again
Every time I see the light, when the dawn shines through the night
I’m bubbling up because I’m free again
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
Seeing all your sorry teardrops, makes my body reel with pain
I’m clouded over and confused now, maybe we should try again
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
Maybe I’m a blind woman
Everybody tells me I’m a blind woman
You’ll regret it someday blind woman
I suspect I suspect I’m a blind woman
But I know but I know I’m not a blind woman
Everybody tells me I’m a blind woman
You’ll regret it someday blind woman
But I know but I know I’m not a blind woman
