Mark Heard Love Is So Blind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scarlet is the color of her heart against the night
Prism of her innocence is fracturing the light
She will take the stairwell down to dark and heartless streets
And spend her season singing songs to infidels and thieves

[Chorus]
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind

[Verse 2]
Her eyes will meet the faces of the profane and the poor
Give to them the pearls she keeps behind her inner doors
She will speak the truth, and she will ache and she will bleed
For the idiots who own the air the prophets have to breathe [Chorus]
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
Yeah love is so blind

[Verse 3]
She is not the mystery they make her out to be
She calls them like she sees them, she sees unselfishly
Ears of those who listen can be callous or concerned
They pity her naiveté or marvel at her worth

[Chorus]
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
Love is so blind
It's so blind
