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 [bad word] 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 aint 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.
