If you're leaving, close the door. I'm not expecting people anymore. 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. 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.
