lyrics
Through the devil night the air blew cold to fill the gap where the blind man stole
A mercenary thief was he, claiming his gold most jealously
Blind Man Morris with his head in his arms, relying on his effervescent charms
The queen and the actress had met before, standing in the jamb of irony’s door
She was is sitting on the blind man’s leg, leaves him there to sit and moan and panhandle and beg
Blind Man Morris on the side of the road trying to decipher the actress’s code
Queen Maureen with her hand on her hip exalting the pride of her sinking ship
Blind man watchin the queen from the pier, says “I got a life jacket, it’s stayin right here”
The actress, in her coat of gold in the devil night where the air blows cold
To fill the gap where the blind man stole, yeah, in the devil night, the air blows cold cold cold cold cold
A mercenary thief was he, claiming his gold most jealously
Blind Man Morris with his head in his arms, relying on his effervescent charms
The queen and the actress had met before, standing in the jamb of irony’s door
She was is sitting on the blind man’s leg, leaves him there to sit and moan and panhandle and beg
Blind Man Morris on the side of the road trying to decipher the actress’s code
Queen Maureen with her hand on her hip exalting the pride of her sinking ship
Blind man watchin the queen from the pier, says “I got a life jacket, it’s stayin right here”
The actress, in her coat of gold in the devil night where the air blows cold
To fill the gap where the blind man stole, yeah, in the devil night, the air blows cold cold cold cold cold
