This song stands out on Deep Purple’s self-titled album as the only one featuring Jon Lord’s RMI 368X “Electra-Piano and Harpsichord”, an electric piano that was popular for it’s faithful imitation of a harpsichord’s sound.

Blind Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew you were needed
'Till I found myself standing here alone
[Verse 2]
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow
In the middle of July, wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
[Outro]

Liner note by Deep Purple:
Jon plays harpsichord on this track, which is a love song, sort of squeezed into the format of a 12-bar blues. The middle section is a descending chromatic sequence, which is intended to to give a sort of “slowing down” effect.
