(Music + Lyrics: Blackmore,  Gillan, Glover, Lord, Paice) 4.34  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
