A blind man can see darkness and when the shadows fall I quickly close the curtains of my mind I hear the voice of yesterday so sweetly when it calls And i reach for the daughter of the vine Happiness is dead and gone my dreams have flown away Like captive birds free from the trap of time Tomorrow is a silent song forgotten yesterday When i turn to the daughter of the vine The fingers of forgetfulness caress my troubled brain And gently wipes her memory from my mind Those healing hands of happiness soon take away my pain As i reach for the daughter of the vine On the sea of sorrow their pride's a sinking ship So abandon it and leave your hopes behind Your crutches are not broken although your wings are clipped You'll be rescued by the daughter of the vine The fingers of forgetfulness caress my troubled brain And gently wipes her memory from my mind Those healing hands of happiness soon take away my pain As i cling to the daughter of the vine As i cling to the daughter of the vine
