The Blink Of An Eye Lyrics - The Well's On Fire - Procol Harum

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
