How Does the Cold Wind Cry Lyrics
Never was a man so blind he had no time for anyone
Closed his eyes and turned his head away
Pushed aside his friends
Threw away his love all gone all gone all gone
So blind
Never was a man so cold he didn't care for broken hearts
Played with love the way he played his game
He would play to die
When the stakes were high So cold so cold so cold
So blind
And how, how does the cold wind cry
How, how does the cold wind cry
The bitterness bites into me And I feel cold inside
How does the cold wind cry how does the cold wind cry
Never was a man so fooled he couldn't trust his own reply
Taken in by words that only lie He was so amazed
By his own self praise such a fool, such a fool, such a fool
So blind
Closed his eyes and turned his head away
Pushed aside his friends
So blind
Never was a man so cold he didn't care for broken hearts
Played with love the way he played his game
He would play to die
When the stakes were high So cold so cold so cold
So blind
And how, how does the cold wind cry
How, how does the cold wind cry
The bitterness bites into me And I feel cold inside
How does the cold wind cry how does the cold wind cry
Never was a man so fooled he couldn't trust his own reply
Taken in by words that only lie He was so amazed
By his own self praise such a fool, such a fool, such a fool
So blind

It was written by ex-Gillan member Colin Town about the Ian Gillan's betrayal of his self titled band Gillan. He told them he had to take a break to have throat surgery (he didn't) and joined Black Sabbath. But that was just because he was waiting for Deep Purple to get back together (other members had contracts to finish out). So Gillan has this song (and another by another ex-Gillan member Jim McCoy, entitled Because You Lied) written about him. Like he tried to disguise songs with his jabs to Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Justice is sweet.
