The Grateful Dead — Blow Away Live at Knickerbocker Arena March 1990

[Verse 1] A man and a woman come together as strangers When they part they're usually strangers still It's like a practical joke played on us by our maker Empty bottles that can't be filled [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run Give it just a minute And it will blow away, blow away [Verse 2] You fancy me to be the master of your feelings You barely bruise me with your looks to kill Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings I never held you against your will [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run Give it just a minute And it will blow away [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Your case against me is so very clearly stated I plead no contest, I just turn and I shrug I've come to figure all importance overestimated You must mean water when you get on your knees and beg me for blood [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run Give it just a minute And it will blow away, it'll blow away [Outro] Like a feather in a whirlwind (Blow away) Just as surely, as surely as the world spins (Blow away) Oh, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow away (Blow away) Ooh, it'll blow, give it just a minute, give it just a minute And it'll blow away Give it just a, give it just a little minute now And watch it blow, watch it blow away Let it blow, let it blow away Watch it blow, watch it blow, watch it blow away Wait a minute... Give me just a little piece of your time, baby Give me just a little second now All I'm asking for is just a little minute A minute 'til you listen, listen to, listen, listen to me close Come on, give me an ear Are you out there? Can you hear me? Let me know You want love, you want love You think you got love right here in your hand You're holding on tight to You think you got love, you think you got love right here in your hand And it's like you wanna put it inside you It's like you wanna put it deep inside you It's like you wanna keep love in your heart And the only way you know you'll know to do is not to let it go It's like you think you're in a cage, it's a jail cell It's like you don't think love can get past through ribs It's like you don't think love can get out Get away from you as long as you hold it inside But you're wrong The only thing you do is keep in that caged cell Keeping love out, keeping it out, keeping it away You've gotta open up the door You've gotta open up the door and let love in Let it come and go Do you wanna know love? Do you wanna know real love? Real love you don't hold inside Real love you can let go And it'll come back, it'll fly right back to you, yes it do That's real love So help me out, help me out a minute Would you help me out? Sing it after me, I want real love Said I want real, real love I want real, real, real love I want real, real, real love, give me real love Real love, real, real, real, real love Okay, we'll be back in just a little bit
