I was all at sea
Till you rescued me
Saw through my charade
Said, "Don't be afraid"

My life was just pretense
You won my confidence
And came to my defense
You blow me away

Saw through my masquerade
You made me unafraid
Broke down my barricade
You blow me away

I didn't have a clue
Till I looked at you
When I saw your face
It all fell into place

Here in your arms
What can I say?
All of your charms
Blow me away

You must have been aware
That this here love affair
Could take us anywhere
You blow me away

You washed my pain away
I saw the light of day
You helped me find a way
You blow me away

I was all at sea
Until you rescued me
Saw through my charade
Said, "Don't be afraid"

Here in your arms
What can I say?
All of your charms
Blow me away

I was all at sea
Until you rescued me
You saw through my charade
Said, "Don't be afraid"

My life was just pretense
You won my confidence
And came to my defense
You blow me away

Saw through my masquerade
You made me unafraid
Broke down my barricades
You blow me away

You must have been aware
That this here love affair
Could take us anywhere
You blow me away

You washed my pain away
Showed me a sunny day
You made me feel this way
You blow me away

You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away

Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
