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 And my world is pale When a blind man cries Lord, you know there ain't a sadder tale 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 a sadder tale I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man And my world is pale I had a friend once in a room Had a good time but it ended much too soon In a cold month, in that room 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 And my world is pale
