I'd Rather Go Blind

by Chicken Shack

on The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2007), Stan Would Rather Go Live (2008), The Very Best of Chicken Shack (1990)

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said "cry, girl"
When I saw you and that girl walking

I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me
So, you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me, baby
But most of all I don't wanna be free

I was just, I was just
I was just sitting here thinking
About your kiss and your warm embrace

With the reflection in the glass
That I held to my lips, baby
Revealed the tears that were on my face

I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me
So, you see I love you so much
And I don't want to see you leave me, baby
But most of all I don't want to be free

Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather go blind
