[Verse 1]
If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people, anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
There ain't a sadder tale

Metallica was influenced by Deep Purple. Apparently, they liked this song, that’s why they covered it.
Lars Ulrich has openly praised Deep Purple and especially the band’s keyboardist Jon Lord. He, at least, is a big fan.
