(Ballard)
I get the same old dreams same time everynight
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the nighttime comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

(Blackmore/Dio)
It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come
He must be undone
By the morning

Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
Then someone cries
Still we close our eyes
Not again

Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Crossbows in the fire light
Green sleeves waving
Madmen raving
Through the shattered night

Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire
Draw bridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around the fire

No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher
next song previous song Rainbow: The Very Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Live In Germany 1976 / Live In Europe Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: On Stage Rainbow: Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow Catch The Rainbow
(Blackmore/Dio)
When evening falls, she'll run to me,
Like whispered dreams your eyes can't see.
Soft and warm, she'll touch my face,
A bed of straw, against the race.

We believed we'd catch the rainbow,
Ride the waves to the sun,
Sail away on ships of wonder.
But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel.
So, bless me, come the dawn,
Come the dawn, come the dawn, come the dawn.
next song previous song Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Down To Earth Eyes Of The World
(Blackmore/Glover)
I see the innocent victims
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events
Can settle him down
He's not a man anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
Without seeing at all
You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could feel the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching heart in the heartbeat of home
Where their spirits are gone
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn
Maybe you didn't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
And in the name of religion
For me gave him our soul
The clock with chime
Every second in my heart
For it's taken it's toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil man look at him down
Without seeing at all
Eyes of the world
Don't wanna, don't wanna cry no more
Eyes of the world
In the eyes
Eyes of the world
You ain't got a lot to say
Eyes of the world
Got to got to feel this way
Eyes of the world
Oh
Eyes of the world
We don't need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
next song previous song Rainbow: The Very Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Finyl Vinyl Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Difficult To Cure I Surrender
(Ballard)
I surrender to your heart babe
do anything that you want me to do
please be tender I'm in your hands girl
this is a feeling I never knew
you know I tried to make it on my own
that's not the way it was meant to be
spend my time waiting by the phone
oh darling come back to me

I surrder, I surrender
I'm giving up the role of pretender
oh be tender, girl be tender
can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I remember, seems like a lifetime
can't believe it's a matter of days
since you left I'm near to heartbreak
I want you so bad don't turn away
what does it take to stay by my side
you know I'll do what you want me to
don't take away this feeling inside
I'm still in love with you

I surrender, I surrender
I'm giving up the role of pretender
oh be tender, girl be tender
can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I surrender, I surrender
darling now won't you be tender
surrender, oh surrender
feel the love that I send you
I surrender.
next song previous song Rainbow: The Very Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Long Live Rock'n'Roll Gates Of Babylon
(Blackmore/Dio)
Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The Gates to Babylon
The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Oh Gates of Babylon

You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The Gates of Babylon
You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A saber dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
A saber dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The Gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Black Gates of Babylon

The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon
next song previous song Rainbow: The Very Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Finyl Vinyl Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: Difficult To Cure Can't Happen Here
(Blackmore/Glover)
Contaminated fish and micro chips
huge supertankers on Arabian trips
oily propaganda from the leaders' lips
all about the future
there's people over here, people over there
everybody's looking for a little more air
crossing all the borders just to take their share
planning for the future

and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon
people out of work but there's people on the moon
looking for the future
concrete racktracks nationwide
juggernauts carving up the countryside
cars by the million on a one way ride
using up the future

and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Satellites spying for the CIA
the KGB and the men in grey
wonder if I'm gonna see another day
somewhere in the future
We got everything we need for a peaceful time
take what you want but you can't take mine
everybody's living on the Siegfried line
worried 'bout the future
and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light it
easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here can it?
Rainbow: Straight Between The Eyes previous song Rainbow: The Very Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: The Best Of Rainbow Rainbow: On Stage Rainbow: Rising Starstruck
(Blackmore/Dio)
If I'm high on the hill
She'd still been looking down at me
What does she see that brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around and see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware!

Creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she soon find me and wait me there
I never knew for a while as smile made me really care

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot, hot - hot, hot, one look
She want a photograph
But everybody laughs but not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know I can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, oh oh o-o-oh
Oh my
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me, yeah
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse a call

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot; one look
She want a photograph
And everybody laughs, hah!
But not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, bad luck
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck

The lady starstruck running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
And back in the tree looking back at me
Climbing up my stair
I've just got to beware
Lady starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck
