Love is blindness

I was just reading the report from last night's U2 show in Buenos Aires and discovered that they closed with 'Love is Blindness'. It's one of my favourites and, unfortunately, they didn't sing it when I saw them in Auburn Hills in October. I shouldn't complain, though, as they did sing it in Glasgow when I saw them there in '92.

At least that's the good thing about U2 concerts - you never get the same one twice, they're far from predictable.

Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness.

In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete.
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.

Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel.
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness.

Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.

A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense.

Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and no one to tell.
Take the money, honey...Blindness.

Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.

(from 'Achtung Baby', 1991; words and music by U2)
