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'm really not too sure I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man Now my world is pale When a blind man cries Lord, you know there ain't a sadder tale I had a friend once in a room We 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, feels it from his soul 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
