On the last day, that I could see,
there were hounds on my trail,
As far as I could see,
so the first day I turned blind, came as a blessing

So I welcomed this friendly twist of fate with a smile, hum….

Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor, Poor Blind Jack of Hearts

On the third day I had made this bliss my faithful companion
My ears grew longer and my hands made it complete
Well the fourth was merely the sum of what came before
To precede the fifth, ah… a king among men
Flowers fading from purple red
into black scented babies (but it's all good)

Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor, Poor Blind Jack of Hearts

On the second day, that's when my sight returned
And I began pretending
Poor Blind jack of hearts, what are you going to do,
When they find the truth

Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
Poor, Poor Blind Jack of Hearts
