The Blower's Daughter lyrics

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

    this song describes my life so exact that it scares me

  • Kathy 0 points

    It's this
    There are those who believe in miracles
    There are those who commit evil things
    There are those who dont know how to speak the truth

    It's this
    a seller of flowers
    Teaches his children
    how to choose their loves

    I dont know how to stop looking at you etc

  • Kathy 0 points

    Translation from portuguese to Zac

    And it's this
    Like we thought it would be
    Life so simple is good
    Almost always
    And it's this
    The steps go to the roads
    Noone noticed the moon
    Life always continues

    I dont know how to stop looking at you
    I dont know how to stop looking at you
    Im not going to stop looking at you
    I dont get tired of looking at you
    Im dont know how to
    stop looking at you

    Wowwww Damien you did it...all of us here are represented in your song, in your lyrics...It´s a little bit of Irland in my ears everytime I hear this song, even in Portuguese I can feel myself deep inside, talking in every word, in every silence...And so it is...

    And about the Daughter´s Blower maybe I´m wrong and pure guessing but I imagine is the Daughter of an Irish BagPipe Blower.

    Thanx Damien keep it up!

    Luke, I am an American living in chile and heard this song on the radio here. I noticed it sounded like the blowers daughter so I came to check it out. I really want to compair the lyrics, but i dont speak portugues. Could you post the translation?

  • Oxana 0 points

    What a beautiful song...this song touched me so deeply and Damien's voice is simply amazing. Love the song!

  • Luke 0 points

    Firstly, those of you that thik this song is better in Portuguese are stupid, i am Brasilian and the words are no where near as nice in Portuguese as in English! Damien Rice wrote a fantastic song here... thats all that needs to be said! Unfortunately when translated badly in portuguese like in Seu Jorge e Ana Carolinas song, it is nothing but a nice sounding song.. loses all its meaning!

  • Dana 0 points

    I think it is an ideal-obsessive-childish type of Love..or maby the correct term is Pasion..without pasion there is no life...it is so refreshing..there stil is life on this planet!

    Many times I've heard this song, and it always makes me so depressed... But it depresses me in such a comfortable way...
    I wish someone could say those words in my ear:
    I can't take my eyes off you...
    I can't take my mind off you

    I love this track too!!

    I was at Brazilian club Guanabara over the summer and the DJ played a latin style drum and bass remix of possibly the Portuguese version of this song. I AM DESPERATE TO GET HOLD OF THIS TUNE!!

    If anyone can help please email me right away on [email protected]...

    From Spain
    I´m in love with this song.
    And so it is
    Just like you said it would be
    If you don´t feel something with this song, perhaps you are death. Perhaps you need to feel the colder water in your skin, perhaps you need to love somebody, or somebody loves you.
    The world dosen´t wait for you, the world dosen´t need heros... you should be the world.

  • Brian 0 points

    I first heard this song in Brazil, sung by Ana Carolina and Seu Jorge in Portuguese. It is even more beautiful in Portuguese. Also, the translation to English is not the same as the Portuguese version.

    Does anyone know who wrote the song?

  • Oscar 0 points

    What a song!!!
    What a voice! and what history teller!
    Damien Rice sings and breaks our hearts in half.
    It goes deep inside our veins and then travels thru them freely and painfully.
    It makes us listen over and over those lirics and ask ourselves why and how we been without this master liricist.
    Thank you Damien! You are the greatest!

    i think this is an excellent song... and it makes me cry too :((
    the first time I hear it, i was watching the movie Closer and after the movie finished I checked alla over the net to find out who sang it and the lyrics... it's amazing

  • Amanda No.1 0 points

    A Beautiful song, in its raw tragic emotion depicts that of mine at this point in time. Only someone who has felt this way can write a song of this brilliance, and only those that have truly felt the same can understand it. It goes so much deeper than raw human emotions. Air is scarce at these times, and lungs don't cope, breaths are shortened and we wait until that part of US that belongs to THEM dies, and then and only then will we be free. This man has gone there.

  • neusa 0 points

    Yes,this song makes me cry too...for things gone and lost, for others that have not come yet .

  • amanda 0 points

    i think this song is about becoming infatuated with someone and then losing them but not losing the obsession...until someone else takes their place.

    this song makes me cry too...

  • amanda 0 points

    I m addicted to all his songs.These make me feel mixed feelings...I don t know,but it s like those songs suit in every mood I may be...at any moment...at any place...THANX DAMIEN!!!...
