Alan Parsons Project - Ignorance Is Bliss - Текст песни

Written by Ian Bairnson

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
