Blow Away (Live at Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, April 3, 1989)

[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 it should have been anyway
Baby, who's to say that it really matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
And it'll blow away, it'll blow away

[Verse 2]
You fancy me to be the master of your feelings
You barely bruise, you barely bruise me with your looks to kill
I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings
I nevеr held you against your will

[Chorus]
And baby, who's to say that it really matters anyway
Baby, who's to say that it rеally matters anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
It'll 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 that it really matters in the long run
Baby, who's to say it should have been anyway
Baby, who's to say that it really matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
It'll blow away, it'll blow away

[Outro]
Like a feather in a whirlwind, it'll blow away
Just as surely as the world spins, it'll blow away)
It'll blow away, it'll blow away
Oh, it'll blow away
Give it just a minute, give it just a little minute now
It'll blow away
Give it just a minute, give it just a minute
Give it just a minute now
And watch it blow, watch it blow, blow, blow, blow away
Yeah, yeah, watch it blow away, hey
Yes, it'll blow away
Hold it

[Instrumental Break]

You know you got, you know you got love in your hand now
You got love, you got love and you call it time you're here
You got your fist closed, fist closed, yeah
You hold it tight to your chest, tight to your chest now
It's like you wanna shove it in your heart
You wanna just suck in your heart forever, baby
You want your ribs to be like jails, like jail cells
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
That's the wrong way to look at love
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
That's the wrong way to look at love
Let it blow, let it blow away
Let it blow, blow, blow, blow away
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, ah-hee
