Oh the writing on the wall

It reminds him of the things that once were

The diamonds, Oh the diamonds on her hands

Just one could change his life

And make him a brand new man



Can't you be blind for a minute

So he can take the money that you hand him

Inside, oh he needs it

But his heart's so full of pride

But his heart's so full of pride

And won't allow it

Can't you be blind

Can't you be blind



Even his demons have run away

They're deformed by the pain of that evening rain

His riches that he holds

Mean more and more to him

As his life unfolds



Can't you be blind



Tonight he will fight with his pride

Stony ground catch the diamonds that fall from his eyes

It's just a darker side of truth

A translucent work of art

Are you going to shoot the arrow straight through his heart?

To acknowledge makes him bleed

Cut by his own pride

As he stands alone

Can't you be blind, etc.
