Blind Since Birth Lyrics - Singles - Mark Selby

Old man sittin' on the dock 

Frettin' that National Steel 

Got his feet in the water 

Hands on the metal 

Playin' it all by feel 

He's got nothin' but time 

And the changin' tide 

The pull of the moon 

And the spinnin' of the earth 

Blind since birth 

Old man sittin' on a crate 

With an amped-up Silvertone 

When he reaches for 

That bottleneck slide 

Makes you shiver and moan 

Blue notes float 

Like puffs of smoke 

He pulls another lucky 

From the pocket of his shirt 

Blind since birth 

At the state run school 

Eight years old 

A cheap six-string 

So the story goes 

Old man sittin' in the dark 

Frettin' that National Steel 

Got his feet on the floor 

Hands on the metal 

Playin' it all by feel 

Blue notes cry 

Scream and sigh 

'Til his fingers bleed 

And his backbone hurts 

Blind since birth
