Pretty Vision Lyrics - Indigo Girls

I saw a vision 

Little boy 

You covered up your own insights 

But I may have held your hand 

Or seen the ghost you tried to fight 

Oh a vision 

Little boy 

You strayed down to find the clowns 

Oh and when I wrote these lines for you 

Not, not one of them was found 

Blame the circus and the clowns 

Before you blame yourself 

Cause when your greatest needs go unforgiven 

And your gifts go unreceived

Little boy 

Man of need 

Who could know that the road would fall 

Not me not one of us 

That surrounds your golden walls 

So now blame the circus and the clowns 

Before you blame yourself 

Cause all your greatest needs go unforgiven 

All your gifts go unreceived 

Who could know of the fall 

Who could slow the speed 

Who could hold your hand 

We all laughed and thought you were so free 

Vision boy 

Man of need 

Oh do the monkeys get you down 

Oh they promise you the dance of life 

Complete with laughters crown

Little boy 

Man of need 

Did you find the freak show and a crowd 

I said cut the canvas on the tent 

Oh we were all innocent 

Blame the circus and the clowns 

Before you blame yourself 

When your greatest needs go unforgiven 

And your gifts go unreceived 

Oh your greatest needs go unforgiven 

And your gifts they go unreceived 

Little boy 

Man of need
