I’ve been romanced dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But my life has lost its mystery
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I’m blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I’m blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me

And I have cast aside my foolish pride
And I’m going down for the last time
And I have searched this earth
And I’ve sailed these seas
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I’m blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I’m blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me
You keep taking my love and leaving me
