Procol Harum - The Blink Of An Eye lyrics

It was all over in the blink of an eye Thousands of people walking by A big black bird swooped out of the sky Nobody knew the reason why It was all over in a few seconds flat Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat Pillars of dust blocked out the sun All that the people could do was run We thought we were living on easy street But they pulled the rug from under our feet It was all over in an avalanche of pain And now the world can never be the same The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke The ones who are left don't know how to cope We thought we were living on easy street But they pulled the rug from under our feet They pulled the rug from under our feet
