He recorded it on his Grasshopper album in 1975, a much softer, less immediately bluesy version than this, and it sounds like he sings 'life', but I agree, 'light' works rather nicely, too!
Mmm. Given that he asked for shades, starts talking about a blind man, and several verses relate to an inability to see, I would say that "light" makes more sense. 🤔
