song list next song Ritchie Blackmore: Letter L Rainbow: Difficult To Cure Magic
(Moran)
There's a light in the sky that hangs on the edge of illusion
something very fine but it's something you know is there
mystery of time hidden by a man of confusion
but the hand is quicker than the eye
only the stranger knows why
'cos it's magic
you know it's magic that you'll find
you see it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

keep your eye on the man
and don't look away for a moment
how is it done how does he make me see
something up his sleeve when speaks you want to believe him
but the hand is quicker than the eye
only the stranger knows why
'cos it's magic
can' you see it's magic that you'll find
you know it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

driven by a force
moving in another dimension
here for today, gone for eternity
seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom
but the hand is quicker than the eye
only the stranger knows why
can't you feel it's magic
you know it's magic that you'll find
I said it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you
song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Shadow Of The Moon Magical World
(Blackmore/Night; Trad. comp. by Wassail)
I called your name out loud in the courtyard,
The crystal I held was like an old friend
The vines crawled the walls
The wind held its breath
But the answer I longed for never came...

Your name, they had said,
was cursed beyond measure,
The families at odds fought with poisoned tongues
And yet through the dark
Of blind, bitter hate,
Broke a glittering light of two lover's fate...

Walls built between us,
Miles seperate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

Destiny called them like a silver poem
They followed the dance 'till the music died out...
Last time they met was on an earth bed
Both knowing they'd meet again in the light...

Walls built between us,
Miles seperate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

In our Magical World.. In our Magical World...

Fear not, dear Juliet, your Romeo's calling
He's waiting for you at the end of the song,
This world was too cruel... for lovers like you,
But here in our hearts you'll always live on...
song list next song previous song Rainbow: Bent Out Of Shape Make Your Move
(Blackmore/Turner)
You better not mess around with me
You know you better think twice
Because I've been running on a really bad streak
And I'm just looking for a fight
So you took me by surprise
Thought I was gonna run
But the cross fire is in my eyes
And my body holds the gun
Here I come
You better get ready to make your move
Got my finger on the trigger and I'm gonna shoot
Get ready make your move
Got your name on my bullet and my aim is true

You better not mess around with me
I got you in my sights
I've been running on a really bad streak
Gonna shoot you down tonight
My back's against the wall
You know that you better think twice
One of us is gonna fall
I'm looking for a fight and the time is right
You better get ready to make your move
Got my finger on the trigger and I'm gonna shoot
I say you better get ready
Make your move
Got your name on my bullet and my aim is true

(Blackmore/Dio)
I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel,
I can roll, I can feel.
And you can't stop me turning.
Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun,
I can move, I can run.
But you'll never stop me burning!

Coming down with fire, to lift my spirit higher.
Someone's screaming my name.
"Come and make me holy again!"

I'm the man on the silver mountain.
I'm the man on the silver mountain.

I'm the day, I'm the day,
I can show you the way.
And look! I'm right beside you!
I'm the night, I'm the night,
I'm the dark and the light.
With eyes that see inside you.

Coming down with fire, to lift my spirit higher.
Someone's screaming my name.
"Come and make me holy again!"

I'm the man on the silver mountain.
I'm the man on the silver mountain.
song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Under A Violet Moon March The Heroes Home
(Blackmore/Night)
I sing the praise of honored wars of glory and of kings
The bravery of soldiers, The joy that peace can bring
The captains on their way home, The ribbons on their chests
They've packed away the firearms the trumpets lay to rest...

They've taken in the battlefields with one last weary breath
And set their sights on something new while there's still
something left
The poets and the dreamers thank the stars above
For leaving hatred in the dust and bringing back the love...

*Over land and over sea
March The Heroes Home
For the faithful, for the free
March The Heroes Home
We'll be waiting when you
March The Heroes Home
All the night and day through
March The Heroes Home...

The flowers laughing in the fields boast colors bright and new
A hind of freedom in the air, the chimes are ringing true
They're bringing in the New Year and ringing out the old
Beconing the springtime though winter winds blow cold...

song list next song previous song Rainbow: Difficult To Cure Midtown Tunnel Vision
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
Take good care it's a tightrope ride
neon city is on the dreamers' side
prime time losers going underground
they take you up and they shake you down

can't see nowhere
don't know, and I don't care
'cos here comes another midtown tunnel vision

Sidewalk cruiser in stiletto heels
frozen heart, eyes of steel
wrap your body around my soul
electric love is gonna take its' toll

can't see nowhere
don't know and I just don't care
that girl is the mother of my midtown tunnel vision

Sunset skyline night turns to day
down on the street you could fade away
no second chances in this here wasted life
it'll cut you down like a switchblade knife

can't see nowhere
don't know and I just don't care

song list next song previous song Rainbow: Finyl Vinyl Rainbow: Straight Between The Eyes Miss Mistreated
(Blackmore/Turner/Rosenthal)
I know you been runnin' around
I know what you been sayin'
I treat you wrong, keep lettin' you down
I'm not giving what I'm taking
So hurt...Deep inside
you say ther's nothin' to it
But my eyes are open wide
And I don't know why you do it
you say I cheated, you say that I lied
People tell ya I'm taking you for a ride
Oh but baby they lied...

Give you my love, I'll give you all of my time
Just to keep you satisfied
It's never enough until it's over the time
So you're livin' on the wild side
Undercover lovers late at night
Won't take the pain away...
Two wrongs don't make a right
But you wanna make me pay
I know, love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know just how you, oh yeah
MISS Mistreated .. whose mistreatin' who...
You think it's me...I think it's you...yes I do
MISS Mistreated

I wanna know...love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know how you feel...ooh

(Blackmore/Coverdale)
I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.

song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Under A Violet Moon Morning Star
(Blackmore/Night)
There are shadows in the sky
Dancing in the air
Calling to my heart
Saying, "If you dare,
We're running fast
We're running far
Trying to catch the morning star..."
And time and space
Our only sheild
keeping secrets
Unrevealed
Falling night
Breathes in the dark
Trying to catch the morning star...

*I can fly through my mind when I see them as they shine
Can it be so hard to try and charm the exclusive morning star...

So within the chase
We soon will find
The light of the moon
those left behind
Try to free the gypsy in their hearts
By trying to catch the morning star...

*Repeat

Now that the time
Has come and gone
Illusion has past
And we're on our own
Know the dream is never far
When trying to catch the morning star...
