If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead - I really ain't too sure

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, Lord, my world is pale
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know, there ain't no sadder tale

Had a friend once in a room
I had a good time, but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know, he feels it from his soul

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my world is closed
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know, he feels it from his soul
