Blind Willie, that man could see What we Can only dream about Blind Willie, my one and only peace That I can't do without Blind Willie Now I can smell the burnt out hell you lived in The damp newspaper making up your bed The stinging eyes that died When you were just a child Oh I swear that I have cried For you Blind Willie I pray each night You sleep without a fever I pray each night You don't feel the winter cold Willie B and Angelina are with you now And peace like sunlight Wraps around your soul Oh Blind Willie
