agreed! the metaphor of blind pilots i find extremely poigniant and at the same time worrying. not that blind people should not be allowed to fly planes, thts discrimination. i think ben gautry, the lyrics probably written by didz, is singing about trying to save a doomed relationship that he feels, whether his patner made him feel that way or not, was ruined because of his inadequecies, this being a common theme in alot of coopers songs. hence the line "I can't pretend that i could be, the man you said you saw in me"
