Going Blind - Banjo - original song

Going Blind is a song I wrote a long time ago. I was going thru a rough patch and writing brooding self portraits during these times which was therapeutic. This is a banjo arrangement that I came up with. I originally wrote the song on guitar.. Eddie covered this song so incredibly well about 15 years ago. I won`t leave his full channel name because I don`t know if he would want me too.

Going Blind - lyrics
Written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges

Running in my sleep, running every waking hour of thru the day
Gotta stay one step ahead, gotta keep one eye open all the time
Their coming after me, their coming after me, I don`t know why
But I`m not scared, I won`t hide, I can stand and take the lies
I`m going blind, I`m going blind

Gonna knead my daily bread, gonna knead it with strong hands and watch it grow
Then I`ll rise about, I will surely rise above it all
And I`ll sit on a golden throne, way up on a cloud with a silent laugh
So fire your poisoned words, in sarcastic lies
I`m going blind, I`m going blind

I`m on novocaine, I`m on antipyretics now
Nothings gonna penetrate, I got a heart and soul made of stone
So do with me what you will, hang the blame on me, I like the pain
You`re all becoming blurred, the world is turning black
I`m going blind, I`m going blind
