Blind
The B.O.M.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tears running all down my cheeks
Yes, standing at my window
Tears running all down my cheeks
Well, I could see the woman I'm loving
Stopping everyone in the world she meets
Well, standing on the corner
Well, standing on the corner, people
Between 35th and Main
Yeah, that's where a blind man's seen my woman
People, a dumb man called her name
Well, all right
Well, all right
He said, "Oh, I'm blind
You brought eyesight and you made me see"
"Oh yes, I'm blind
You brought eyesight and made me see"
Yes, and the dumb man asked a question
"Woman, who may your good man be?"
Yes, I'm standing by trembling, people
People, my heart's laying in my hand
Oh, I'm standing by trembling, darling
With my heart laying in my hand
Well, I could hear my baby say
"Lord, I ain't got no man"

The song opens with the singer standing at his window, tears running down his cheeks as he watches his lover stop and talk to every man she meets. He sees her standing on a corner between 35th and Main, and then observes as a blind man identifies her by her voice and a dumb man asks her who her "good man" is.
The singer is clearly devastated by what he sees and hears, trembling and holding his heart in his hand as he listens to his woman deny having a man. The song speaks to the pain of being betrayed and the helplessness that comes with watching something you love slip away.
