WHEN A BLIND MAN CRIES (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
"Never Before / When A Blind Man Cries" single © 1972
"Machine Head Anniversary Edition" bonus track © 1997
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.
