Comes a Time Live at the Palestra Rochester NY October 26 1971 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Chorus]
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup that only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Verse 1]
Walking all morning, been walking all night
I don't see much difference between the dark and the light
I taste the rain, I feel the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
[Chorus]
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only lovе can fill
Only love can fill
[Verse 2]
The words come out likе an angry stream
You hear yourself say things you could never mean
When the heat cools down, and you find your mind
You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind
[Chorus]
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all
[Chorus]
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Outro]
Only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Instrumental]
I don't know where you've been, buddy, but that was something new. This is also something new. I'd just like to tell everybody out there on the radio that this is a really fine audience here. And I'm willing to bet you are, too, out there in radio land, even though you don't know it
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup that only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Verse 1]
Walking all morning, been walking all night
I don't see much difference between the dark and the light
I taste the rain, I feel the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
[Chorus]
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only lovе can fill
Only love can fill
[Verse 2]
The words come out likе an angry stream
You hear yourself say things you could never mean
When the heat cools down, and you find your mind
You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind

Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
