"When a Blind Man Cries" is een nummer van de Britse rockband Deep Purple, eerst alleen beschikbaar als de B-kant van de single "Never Before", uitgekomen in 1972. Het nummer is opgenomen tijdens de Machine Head sessies in December 1971.
I'm not expecting people, anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
There ain't a sadder tale
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
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
He feels it from his soul
