If you're leaving, close the door
i'm not expecting people any more
hear me grieving, i'm 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
and my world is pale
when a blind man cries
lord you know, there ain't no sadder tale
[solo]
had a friend once, in a room
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
[solo]
[repeat chorus]
