Alan Parsons - Ignorance Is Bliss

I find this paradise and rest beside a river No need to walk another mile It seems like everyone has everything that wishes could provide But no one seems to smile You won’t believe me when I tell you this is fantasy Don’t ask how long all this can last The same old sun will rise and make tomorrow just like yesterday And so your time will pass A shelter from the storm A room without a view A place where you belong And like a mother’s kiss That carries you to sleep The ignorance is bliss One day the wind may change and blow at your defences And shake the ground on which you stand One day the tide may turn and wash away your castles in the sand And silence rule the land A shelter from the storm A room without a view A place where you belong And like a mother’s kiss That carries you to sleep The ignorance is bliss One day the wind will change and blow away your wonderland Blue skies will soon be overcast One day the tide will turn and wash away your castles in the sand And you’ll find peace ¡­ at last
