Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take the sun from my heart
Let me learn to despise
I'll show you another who cannot tell lies
[Verse 2]
The blind man can't see
Who demands to his eyes
I'll show you another who sings as he cries
[Verse 3]
I cannot be whole
As the beggar who sighs
I'll show you another who knows as he dies
Written by: Richard Thompson
