Sequins Lyrics

Old Tom lies blind, tell me what do you see

What do you shake your locks when you look at me?

Oh, love is blind, love is blind, I see utter in

descent

You can’t see the diamond for the sequins in your hand.



Old Tom, speak softly, tell me what do I do,

If it went for my eyes, I’d be blinded like you.

For I cannot see further than this once promised land.

I can’t see the diamonds for the sequins in my hand.



Oh, love unravels like tumbling sea,

Unraveling love, where do you carry me?

If I drown in your eyes, make it easy for me,

Let me die before I ever know you’re gone away from me.



Old Tom lies blind, tell me what do you say

Why do you shake your head so sadly,

Why do you turn and look away?

Oh, lost tights under columns, I will never understand

If I can’t see the diamonds for the sequins in my hand.



Oh, hold me close, like you used to do before,

I’ve come a long way since you went from my door.

And though I rage, oh, how I need you,

Won’t you take me by my hand?

Won’t you help me find my way back home through this

blinding set?



Oh, love unravels like a tumbling sea,

Unraveling love, where do you carry me?

I’ve seen how you sparkle when I let you float free,

Won’t you take me once more to your breast

Before you’re gone from me?



Oh, you sparkled like a diamond when I let you float

free,

Won’t you take me once more to your breast

Before you’re gone from me?
