The blind man actually is was too blind to see to keep it going and this occurs to him in a selfpitty drunkeness after the thing ended much too soon. Reportedly ritchie was not happy with it so it was absent from the album. This said and i understand it doesn t sound too fancy regarding the delicacy of the vocals the solo and the song as a whole but the title may well have been when an old drunk cries.
