Susan wants to take me
to a party over yonder
Susan wants to take me

to her heart
It's a arm and tender place there,
do you know

Susan, I've been living here
in this fortress
And it's filled with armor

And sometimes celebrations
lose their charm


Susan do you mind,
sometimes I'm restless
Rolling on the floor in pain and woe

After all the precious gifts you
will gladly give to me, girl
I may blindly lock and bolt the door


Baby, sweet baby
I'll truly love you through my years

Well it's just that sometimes
by midnight light
I'm frightened by my fears

But if you could just hold me,
warm me, girl
The way you did today

And tenderly anoint my eyes
Then I may see the way
Susan, baby, take me to that party

'Way over yonder

Tell me, Susan, do you mind

Come on, Susan, take the time
Tell me, Susan, do you mind
If I've been blind a long time?

I been blind a long time

Sometimes, see, if you're

not careful
A little hurt, pain in your heart
Will make you blind

Blind to the real thing, once
it comes along
Honey, can you wait, baby

Can you wait for me, till I
get this thing together?
I been blind, I been blin,

blind a long time
Sweet Susan, take the time, girl


Susan, can you understand
If I say I love you, baby
Tell me, Susan, mama,

do you mind?
Girl, I been blind.
