Story behind the song
Went to Wales for a holiday to stay with some friends, the man's wife up and left him in a hell of a state, he's blind, in a wheelchair, diabetic and on kidney dialysis. Took all his money and the house deeds.
Lyrics
What makes a man cry Ch) What is it that makes a man cry 'Till the point of self desruction appears What is it that makes a woman lie to the heart that's loved her for 34 years 1) Now he knows it's the end for him His wife's gone and his legs are no more Since the crash in '91, his eyes have grown dim His sight is shot to pieces- but he's looking for the door chorous 2) He's got three dos he don't know how to feed He can barley feed himself let alone them In his head it feels like a big stampede Is pulling at his half dead, half eaten brain stem 3) (spoken) Social services they came today To put him in a home for the blind I never knew how much this giant of a man could cry As I watched them take, as I watched them take my friend away Ending His wife just up and left, no goodbye note No phone number, just a big old lump in my throat What is it that makes a man cry ?
