about

A song about William Blake, written in the 90’s by Ed Hoffman for our band called “Shiloh”, based in Raleigh, NC. Words and Music by Ed, performance by Blindhead, 2023.

lyrics

I found a quarter in the dirt I picked it up and dust it off
It's in my pocket now and it's a part of me
I found love and then it hurt I picked it out and tried it on
It's just a locket now I wear around a chain

And you may think that I have gone quite insane
But every letter that I know is in my name
I'm the Alphabet Man and you can read my words in the sand

The strangest thing I've ever seen I met a man without a heart
he went from girl to girl and never lost his cool
I met a girl with eyes so green
that it was living in the woods to stare in those eyes but she let me a fool

And you may think that I have gone quite insane6
But every letter that I know is in my name
I'm the Alphabet Man and you can read my words in the sand

I've found this planet spins around because there is nothing to compare
the circle's all there is and all there is to be
and I've found things often move down as I step off that bottom stair
Just as William Blake always used to sand
