I sit on you.
So my dad used to sing me a song when I was a child. It was actually a song that was played on local radio stations around here (Kentucky). My dad says the artist is/was "John Dawson Reed", and it was probably 20 or so years ago. Here are the lyrics I can remember:

I friend of mine is going blind,
but through the dimness
He sees so much better than me

He can't read books
and he can't paint pretty pictures,
but he understands much better than me

.............he will save them for when he's in darkness again

That's just pieces of the song. I don't know any more than that. It's a heart-felt song and I would die to hear the real song. My dad can't remember much of it any more!
ANYONE KNOW OF IT!!!?
 
I wouldnt have a clue at all, but have you tried using google, like entering some of the lyrics into it and seeing what comes up?
 
Chester,

Here you go: John Dawson Read: 'A Friend of Mine is Going Blind'. On the link, click on "albums", it's the title cut on the first one.

Never heard of the guy, but I like folk so I should check him out too.

Best,
