Blind Man
Blind Man's Cry: A Soul's Plea for Love
Lyrics
Blind man standing on the corner
Expressing the presence of a blind man on the street corner.
Crying out the blues
Describing the blind man vocalizing his sorrows through the blues.
Said, I don't need a dollar
The blind man doesn't seek monetary assistance.
Don't you give me a dime
Emphasizing that even a small amount of money won't help; he wants his girl back.
Until you bring back
Insisting on the return of his lost love before accepting any financial help.
That little girl, of mine
-I can't let her go
Expressing an emotional inability to let go of his beloved.
I'm hooked, I can't let her go
Reiterating the emotional attachment and difficulty in moving on.
People try to tell me to stop crying
Resisting advice to stop grieving and find someone new.
Find me someone new
Suggesting finding a new partner as a solution to heartbreak.
Cause when the, the good Lord
Acknowledging the divine creation of women, emphasizing the uniqueness of his lost love.
Made one woman, hallelujah
-Don't you know he made two
-But I can't let this one go
Reiterating the emotional struggle of not being able to move on.
Lord, I can't let her go
Stressing the persistent difficulty in letting go of the lost love.
I can't let her go,
-No I can't let her go
-He lifted his head towards the heaven
Expressing a preference for death over enduring the pain caused by a cheating woman.
And said, "good Lord, I'd rather die
-Than let a no good cheating woman
-Make me stand on this corner and cry"
-Said, "Lord knows, I'm living in a world of darkness"
Acknowledging the challenging environment but expressing resilience.
Said, "but this don't bother me
-And until I find that sweet little girl of mine,
Expressing a preference for not seeing the world until the lost love is found.
Lord knows, I just don't want to see"
-But I can't let her go, no
Reiterating the emotional struggle and the inability to let go.
I'm hooked
-Lord, I can't let her go
-No I can't let her go
Emphasizing the persistent emotional attachment.
Lord, I can't let her go
-Won't somebody please help the blind man
Pleading for assistance from others to help him move on from the lost love.
Lord, I can't let her go, no, no
-Somebody help the blind man
-I just can't let her go, no
Reiterating the plea for help in letting go of the beloved.
