If I could see before my time ends
The smile you gave me before the pain
I could accept the world of darkness
Never see the sun again...
Never ever gonna leave ya,
so dry your eyes and smile again
Say the words I need to hear...
Say you love me, say you love me
Say that you need me,
I can't take it anymore...
But I know I must be strong,
to keep belive in right or wrong...
I've got time but I can't wait too long
wanna get you home where you belong...
Say you love me, say you love me
I can't take it anymore...
Say you love me, baby, baby, baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, I can't take it anymore...
Say you love me, say you love me
I can't take it, I can't take it anymore...
Say you love me, oh baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, I can't take it anymore...
(Coverdale)
Only my soul, stops me crying,
Wondering why I feel alone
And only my love keeps me from
Weeping, so bad,
Giving me strength, to carry on
Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment, and tomorrow
For the Lord will take it all
On judgement day
Broken dreams lay all around me,
Sad eyed children of despair
Whispered voices in the distance
Call me on to who knows where
Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment, and tomorrow
'Cos the Lord will take it all on judgement day,
And the Lord will take it all on judgement day
Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I'll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song
Only my soul
Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I'll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song
(Coverdale/Page)
Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for sweet young things.
On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon
Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says.
Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away,
Wash my tears away.
Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years
But, I was blind to all your fears.
Now I can't stop the tears from falling down.
Come the dawn of judgement day,
I'll get down on my knees and pray,
St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away.
Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.
Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray,
The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go.
Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.
Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees
(Coverdale)
You changed your reason with the wave of your hand...
Fill me with wonder - Like a child
'Cos you'll never understand...
It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'Cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on
If you wanna make love, ooh, you whisper my name
I say I never wanna use you for your love
But you tail me, and you make it, all the same
It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'Cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on...
'Cos i'm a man
A peaceful lovin' man
And I'm so tired to hold it inside
When I feel, I gonna hide
Peace lovin' man,
Peace lovin' man
Peace lovin' man...
It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'Cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on
'Cos im a man
Ohh, baby - I'm a man
Peace lovin' man
Baby, I'm just a man
Peace lovin' man
I can't use you anymore...
(Coverdale/Moody)
She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
She was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no this ain't no place for me"
Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You gotta move if you wanna be free
Like the wind I'm just blowin' anywhere I please
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
(Coverdale/Moody)
I was running for the folks I know
never had it good
but don't know if they're feeling fine
Had to leave them soon
Recently I seem to have
become a new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past
Open up the door,
gonna be down the road
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration
Feeling come and go again
never have to please
After she let you down
bring you to your knees
When you're feeling good,
nothing you can do
gonna take you to the Mardi Gras
piss it out on you
Gonna make you feel alright
Gonna make it through the night
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration
If you want to know
what happend in the past
never had it good
come on in and see the crime
I really believe they should
Recently I've seen to have
become an new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past
I've never been one to tease
Only want to please
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration
Celebration - I just want to celebrate
(Coverdale/Moody)
In the shadows of the dark night,
You need a woman by your side..
She'll help you make it in the cold light
and keep you warm an' satisfied
If you want somemore lovin'
Drive you out of your mind
Give a little sweetness and sugar
just make it sure she understands...
White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, I love
Got a whitesnake mama
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
just enough to see ya through
You want to find a little angel
Sweet surrender in her eyesv Broke down heart through morning
To the moon is on the rise
Night time is the right time
for rolling on the silent gloves
Daytime, nighttime, anytime is the right time
stealin' round and makin' some love...
White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, I love
Got a whitesnake mama
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
just enough to see ya through
Listen...
Back door man ain't done nothing,
but creep around the door..
When you see his woman weepin'
You know the snake is there for more
Day time, night time is the right time
for rolling on the silent gloves
Night time is the right time
make it sure you're the only one
White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, I love
Got a whitesnake mama,
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
and you, and you...

My heart is breaking, my whole life is shaking.
Every way I turn, I know this love is gonna burn me
But, I'm waiting on you, no matter what you do
Ever since you went away, I suffer each an' every day
An' I can't hide the heartache anymore,
You left me all alone, just waiting by the telephone,
Too scared to step outside this prison door
An' I'm waiting on you
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
This heart is dedicated to you
'Til the rivers run dry and the sun no longer shines,
I'm still gonna make you mine
I'm waiting on you, waiting on you
Ever since I started drinking, my ship's been slowly sinking,
So tell me what's a man supposed to do
When people stop and stare and see me drowning in despair,
'Cos it's written on my face, what I've been going through
An' I'm waiting on you
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
This heart is dedicated to you
'Til the rivers run dry and the sun no longer shines,
I'm still gonna make you mine
I'm waiting on you, waiting on you
I'm waiting on you, waiting on you
My heart is breaking, my whole life is shaking
Every way I turn, I know this love is gonna burn,
Love is gonna burn, love is gonna burn
Burn me, baby, burn, your love is gonna burn
Ever since you went away, I've suffered each an' every day
An' I can't hide the loneliness no more
All the tears I've cried, all the love I've been denied
An' still you find me waiting on you, baby, baby, babe
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
This heart is dedicated to you.
'Til the rivers run dry and the sun no longer shines,
I'll be waiting on you, waiting on you.
My heart is dedicated to you,
An' I'm waiting on you, waiting on you.
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
This heart is dedicated to you.
'Til the rivers run dry,
I'll be waiting on you, waiting on you.
My heart is dedicated to you,
An' I'm waiting on you, waiting on you.
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
My heart is dedicated to you.
'Til the rivers run dry,

The first thing in the morning, the last thing at night,
I just wanna hold you, babe, and make you feel alright.
When the sun is shining, or the sky is filled with rain,
Wherever we may be, I'm gonna make love with you again.
Now I don't need a crystal ball to tell me it's true,
'Cos I've crossed too many rivers on my way to finding you.
Your smile, like a summer sun, can brighten my day
And when I'm feeling down, you chase the dark clouds away.
There ain't no doubt about it, baby,
I'm gonna shout about it.
Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
An' make you feel alright.
Sometimes I feel it in my bones, when the cold northwinds blow
But, when you put your arms around me, I can feel it no more.
I've been guilty of a thousand crimes in matters of the heart
But, just the thought of losing you, tears me apart.
There ain't no doubt about it, baby,
I'm gonna shout about it.
Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
An' make you feel alright.
There ain't no doubt about it, babe,
I'm gonna shout about it.
Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
Every day you've got me working so hard
I feel I need to slow down
How long can a man hold on
When he got the feeling been too long?
Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home
Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home
You shame the devil when you tell me the truth
Just like a dance hall queen
So long I've been holding on
I'm going to show you if you're wrong
Sweet sweet your kisses so fine
But your eyes don't lie
Baby you took all my pride
(Coverdale/Page)
Take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me.
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night,
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright.
You're the best time I have ever had,
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad.
Diamonds on your ankles, sapphires on your shoes,
Your little gems of wisdom chase away my blues.
Mama's little princess, daddy's pride and joy,
I'm like a kid at Christmas, playing with your toys.
You shake me in the morning, I wake up black an' blue
Ooh child, you act so wild, I'll name a hurricane after you
Scarlet fever kisses, little miss Dynamite,
Youngblood, you look so good, I'm gonna leave on all the lights
So I can see where I'm goin', baby
Play that thing!
So take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea,
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me.
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night,
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright.
I have never felt this good before,
If you want I'll sleep outside your door.
You're the best time I have ever had,
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad.
(Coverdale/Moody)
Oh, you told me you were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say
It seems your best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give,
Baby, I don't mind
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love
You got fox eyes,
They burn like a sunrise,
You got a walk that makes a mans' blood turn to wine.
You bought and sold me
For you lover,
As long as you feed me good, baby, I don't mind
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give,
Baby, I don't mind
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love
So you told me you were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say
It seems your best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give,
Baby, I don't mind
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
(Coverdale)
Sit here crying, looking at the barroom floor
I look on my glass like a crystal ball
Oh, ladies with their velvet eyes,
they look so sweet and fine
One night lovers, always discover
riding on a one track mind..
So tell me who, who, who has been fooling who?
Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
to see my life as it goes...
Honey, if you lie to me
I just want to know if,
if your love is true
Cause one day I'll joke
on all this whiskey and coke
and I'm sure I'll put the blame on you
Maybe baby you could show me some more,
you seem to be feeling good
Everytime I wanna hold you baby,
give me what a good woman should
You tell me who, who, who has been fooling who?
Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
to see my life as it goes...
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
Tell me like it is, like it is
like it is, day or night
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
We can always drink the water
but you know we gonna drink the wine
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
Tell me like it is, like it is
like it is, day or night
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
We can always drink the water
If you're tired of holding on
And you fell you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
Call my name
If the sun refuse to shine
And you're all used up from trying
When you can't hold back the tears
I'll be there
So don't you cry, so don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Oh baby, don't you cry
If you feel your love grow cold
When it chills your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold
Think of me
And don't you cry, don't cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Oh baby, don't you cry
You're the reason I love
You're my heaven above
You're the reason I try
So dry the tears in your eyes
You're the reason I'm here
The reason I'm living for
So, if you're tired of holding on
And feel you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
I'll be there
So don't you cry, so don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
(Coverdale/Page)
I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around,
I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground,
I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying,
Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying.
Oh, a prayer for the dying.
The suffocating heat of jungles, and burning desert sands,
Where everything reminds you, you're a stranger in a strange land.
The soothing words of politicians, those bodyguards of lies,
While guardian angels waste their time and every mother cries.
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, dying.
Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly,
The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again,
Nothing but bad dreams.
You can't read, you can't write,
You're so scared, you can't sleep at night
You try to carry the heavy load,
Walking down Armageddon road.
Oh, Armageddon road.
I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around,
I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground,
I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying,
Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying.
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying.
Oh, a prayer for the dying, baby, baby.
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying,
Whisper a prayer for the dying.
You can't run, you can't hide,
You can't show what you feel inside.
You're going crazy, going insane,
You know you'll never be the same again, no, no.
Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no.
(Coverdale/Moody)
All of my life I been searching
Walking on easy ground
Son of my father
Never being pushed around
I've got the Lord in my shadow
Devil in my blood
If you fool me baby
I'm gonna get you like a good man should
Like a gypsy, a traveler I was born
A vagabond without virtue, I was blessed before the dawn
I greet the morning, with my back against the sun
You'll never see me baby
'cause I'm always on the run...
I got time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
before I get much older
Born on the dark side,
where the sun man never showes..
I never had nobody to cry when I was gone
I'm always in the moonwalk,
I got the drifter in my blood
If you fool me baby, gonna get you like a good man should
I got time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
before I get much older
Time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
before I get much older
Time on my side
I don't need, I don't need nobody
Time on my side
I got the Lord, the Lord in my shadow
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
Time on my side,
I don't need no one..
Time on my side,
I got the devil, the devil in my blood
Time on my side,
(Coverdale)
Lately, I realise that it's you
You are the one who makes everything right,
summer days and winter nights
Slowly, I open my eyes and your smile is there to greet me
and whisper words to tell me it's alright,
I'll stay by you in your darkest night
Time and again the situation shows,
you make it better...
Time and again I realize,
you are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
you make it better...
We wasted words on conversation,
'cos all I wanna do is just talk about,
the woman I love, woman I love...
I never thought I could be this way,
when I hold you in my arms
I know I just wanna stayv this is the place I should be,
in sweet harmony with the woman I love..
You and I could always
talk it over as friends
and you never, ever worried,
we always make it good in the end..
Time and again the situation shows,
you make it better...
Time and again I realize,
you are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
you make it better...
No wasted words on conversation,
a necessary seperation
'cos all I wanna do is just talk about,
(Coverdale/Page)
Now my days are growing cold,
All the memories unfold
Thinking 'bout the friends we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost,
Now my days are growing cold
I can hardly wait any longer,
Now the feeling's growing stronger
Thinking 'bout the times we had,
Good times always turn into bad,
Now my days are growing cold
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while
As I watch the rising sun,
I see a new day just begun
Thinking 'bout the sacrifice,
Wondering how to pay the price,
Now my world is growing cold
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile, make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while
So now my days are growing cold,
All my memories been told
Thinking 'bout the dreams we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost
Now my days are growing cold
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make, me make, me make, me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile.
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make, me make, me make, me smile.
Make me smile...
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me, make me, make me smile.
(Coverdale)
I'm tired of bars in Boston
'bin feeling small in New York
Scared of guns in Houston
An' tired of business talk
Don't wanna talk about it baby,
Don't wanna get in no fight
I just wanna go to a rock'n'roll show
an' shiver and shake all night...
There's a riot in the Hyatt
An' madness in the Holiday Inn
So throw your big leg over me, babe
I might not feel this good again
C-c-crazy, the road can make you crazy
Makes you bold, an' get cold
Cold in your jellyroll...
So wontcha...
Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leavin' until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me, many miles away...
Here, there, everywhere
No doubt about it, I had my share
Paid my dues, got my rock'n'roll shoes
An' thats alright?
But, I never, never, never thought I'd see the day
When I'd be dancin alone, so take me where the music,
Take me where the music play...
Then you can...
Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many
Oh so many...
I left behind me...
(Coverdale/Page)
Now I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
All I ever hear, is that you live an' breathe for me
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree
'Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before.
I told you once an' I told you twice,
I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice
You want my love an' you want it now,
You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how
So you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I need love an' I need time,
An' a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine
I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head
An' you're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed
Love is what you need,
But, you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed
I give you everything an' still you cry
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high
But, you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before
Now I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
But, you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I know love an' I know shame
An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game
It took a little time to make me see,
I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree
So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin' around
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down
An' you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
Shake my tree
I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days
So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore,
I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door
If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store
But, you'll keep on pushing, baby,
(Coverdale/Moody)
She was the keeper of all my reason,
Possessor of all I owned,
She kept me on the edge of darkness
With words as cold as stone
Then you came along,
Your eyes were flashing with desire,
Oh babe, you got me burning, so much
You got my soul on fire
Honey, you move me,
You got me so I can't sleep at night,
You tell me you believe in me,
And you say you're gonna treat me right
You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
They say that love's a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts
If I could touch the crystal silence
That we have after making love,
Just to tell you I need you here
In the glow of the stars above
If you ever leave, or deceive,
Or fool around,
You could be right,
You could be wrong,
But, woman, I know I'll miss you
When you're gone
Honey, you move me,
Like the wind thro' a willow tree
Ain't no doubt about it, baby,
You make the blindman see
You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I'm gonna tell you, holy Roller,
They say that love's a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts
You drive me crazy when you walk,
Crazy when you talk,
Crazy when you walk with me
You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
Gonna tell you, holy roller,
You're the Queen of Hearts
You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
(Coverdale/Page)
You said you'd give me love,
Instead you caused me pain
You made me curse an' slam the door,
An' hang my head in shame
But, it's over now, it's over now
You talked to me of virtue,
An' sang a song so sweet
But, all I know is I could smell the perfume of deceit
An' it's over now, it's over now
You told me of your innocence,
An' I believed it all
But, your best friend is your vanity,
An' the mirror on the wall
It's over now...
I turned away from what I heard,
An' everything I saw
But, now I see the light of day,
I release the dog of war
So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call,
How you gonna feel, when you finally lose it all,
How you gonna look, standing up against the wall,
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall,
I'm gonna see you crawl
You took your pills an' washed them down,
An' then you talked for hours
I tried to build a garden,
But, you trampled all the flowers
An' it's over now
Wanting this, needing that,
Always after more
Now that it's all over,
I release the dog of war,
I release the dog of war
So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call,
How you gonna look, standing up against the wall,
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say,
When you feel the hammer fall
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, standing up against the wall,
So whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, mamma, when you feel the hammer fall,

Taking it easy, taking it slow
Riding home to lay my body down...
Thought about it long enough
to let it slip away, yeah...
But I feel like a stranger here today
Lost in who across the water
Took me far away from home
It seems it ain't enuff
to get down on your knees and pray, yeah
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
'thou the rain took my spirit away
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket,
Oh I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road
Taking it easy, living from day to day...
Sometimes it ain't so good when you find it so high
riding on the northwind,
you'll never get the feeling to try...
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket,
Oh, I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
Northwinds make it oh, so easy
Make me live my life too slow...
It seems it ain't enuff
to get down on your knees and pray
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
thou the rain took my spirit away
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday,
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one-way ticket,
Oh, I'm sittin', sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
(Coverdale)
Everyday I'm more confused...
In my life, you're all I know
Laid your love before me
I thought you knock me down,
you had me screaming for more...
There's a hole in the sky,
don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...
Used to be cool but I ain't no more,
when you told me it was gone...
Always playing love songs alone
Without you near,
I'll never make it on my own...
There's a hole in the sky,
don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...
Now everytime I wanna hold you
You keep your love away from me...
Now I can feel it an' I need it close to me
If you really want me, baby if you really care,
You've got to stay right by my side,
you've got to stay right by my side...
(Coverdale)
I've been looking for shelter
from the pourin' rain
Walking in circles,
comin' back again
Looking out of your window,
waiting for a while
May not be the sweetest woman,
but I love the way you smile...
Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
the door locked anytime?
Well you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
An' you can always smell the roses
but you know, you gotta draw the line
Black satin or lace, painted face
I'll get my lovin', I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want, you can do it with me
So follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place
I'll see you there..
In the perfume garden,
flowers on the wall...
Sweet smell of surrender,
an' you can try it all...
You don't ask no questions
You wont get no lies...
You can get what you want for your pleasure,
an' you can try it on besides...
Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
the door locked anytime?
But you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
But you can always smell the roses
but you know, you gotta draw the line..
Black satin or lace, a painted face
I'll get my lovin', I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me
So follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place
I said...
Follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place..
I'll see you there..
Follow me down, follow me down

Hey, gypsy woman, roll your dice for me,
Read my Tarot cards, so I can see.
I'm razor sharp, cool sunglasses,
Pocketful of backstage passes.
Lady Luck, roll your dice for me.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Fingers crossed, they get it right.
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.
I ain't too proud to beg for what you got,
You'd melt a heart of ice, babe, you're so hot.
So pump it up, raise the dead,
Squeeze it, honey, 'til it's cherry red
I ain't too proud to beg for what you got.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Fingers crossed, they get it right.
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.
Feeling hot, feeling hot, feeling hot, feeling hot, hot, hot, hot.
Feeling hot...
Now I just wanna make sweet love to you,
I'll do anything you want me to.
So rip it up, slip an' slide,
'Scuse me if my tongue gets tired
An' I will make some sweet love to you.
The boys are feeling hot, tonight,
Fingers crossed, they get it right.
Women to the left, women to the right,
The boys are feeling hot tonight, hey, hey, hey.
Look out baby!
The boys are feeling hot tonight,
The boys are feeling hot tonight,
The boys are feeling hot tonight.

You said you needed love to warm you in the night,
So you gave yourself to strangers,
Who left you crying at first light.
You think the world you live in doesn't notice you
But, don't you worry, baby,
I'll be there to comfort you.
So take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.
So weep no more, my lady, don't you cry,
I can't paint your portrait with those tears in your eye.
But, I can give you love, every night and day
An' we will walk together,
The sun and moon will light our way.
So take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.
I'll tell you something you'll understand,
Grab a hold now, baby,
And I'll lead you to the promised land.
I'll make you feel so good, make you feel alright
Chase away the shadows and keep you warm at night,
Ooh, I'll keep you warm.
Take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.
Gonna keep you smiling and satisfied,
Nothing but blue skies on a magic carpet ride.
Take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.
Anywhere the four winds blow, I'll take you there.
Here we go, baby, hold on.
No more worry, no more pain,
The sun is always shining,
And it never, ever rains,
And it never, ever rains,
(Coverdale/Page)
I'm sick and tired and lonely, sitting in my room
Staring at the shadows, blowing smoke rings at the moon.
Every night I try, but, every night I cry, tryin' to work out why
I just wanna know, got to know, why you keep on pushing me, baby.
You love me when you want, and take me when you need
Whatever you say to me, baby, makes my poor heart bleed.
Now I don't wanna win, but, I don't wanna lose
An' I don't wanna be alone no more, no more
I just wanna give you love, I just got to give you love.
But, you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Ooh baby, don't you leave me this way,
Don't you leave me.
I never wanna hurt you, don't wanna tie you down
But, every time I take a look in the mirror,
I can see the heartache hangin' 'round.
I'm going down to the ground,
Why you always wanna bring me down
Baby, baby, why do you always bring me down.
'Cos you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Baby, baby, don't you leave me this way.
Don't you leave me, baby, baby, baby.
My heart is aching, my heart is breaking for you
And I can't take it anymore, no more, no more.
I'm sick and tired and lonely, nothing left to say
Just thinking 'bout you, baby, takes all my night and day
All my nights, all my days,
Baby, babe, you take my breath away.
'Cos you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Baby, baby, baby, don't you leave me this way.
I can't stop my love from falling down
I wanna love you in the morning,
Wanna love you in the evening time.
Don't you leave me, baby,
Don't you ever leave me, baby.
Don't you leave me, baby, no.
(Coverdale/Moody)
Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run
But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told
I never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm 'n' blues
Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run
But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told.
It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown
Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing away
Never see me fall on the ground till I've had my say
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run
But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told
It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
It's just a breakdown
Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run
But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told
It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
(Coverdale)
I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day
I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
