(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 ChorusIt is not a good day, if you are not looking good
This is the best party that I've ever been to
Today I asked for a god to pour some wine in my eyes
Today I asked for someone to shake some salt on my life
Look !
Everything's spinning
(We're on the ground)
Never cheer before you know who's winning
(Don't make a sound)
Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue
Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done
Someone to look to in need or in want or in war
If you give him everything, he may give you even more
This is the best party I've ever been to
Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes
