song list next song previous song Rainbow: Family Album Alcatrazz Will You Be Home Tonight
(Vai/Bonnet/Waldo)
He's just a kid and loves to ride
Taking the freeway, driving blind
Just like a loaded gun, he pushes down the hammer
Hard to fire

In the embrace of his gasoline lover
Her sleek body wraps all around
Turns on the radio, lights up his cigarette
Takes the lights up, dims them down
A silent Geisha, the perfect seducer
Knows someone is waiting too long

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh please say tou'll be there

He's just a kid who loves to drive
To get out of sight out of his mind
He pushed the hammer down
And shot just like a bullet from a gun

Drunk on the fix of the powerful kick
As he shoots up from zero to speed
Has one more drink of the cold liquid courage
To keep on the level he needs
Soothed by the sound of the wheels on the ground
But he won't hear the tires when they scream...

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh will you be home tonight

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh will you be home tonight
song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Under A Violet Moon Wind In The Willows
(Bell)
As I went a walking
One morning in spring
I met with some travelers
On an old country lane
One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said

*"With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind."

So I asked them to tell me their name and their race
So I could remember each smile on their face
"Our name, they mean nothing...
They change throughout time
So come sit beside us and share in our wine"

*Repeat

So I sat down beside them
With flowers all around
We et from a mantle
Spread out on the ground
They told me of prophets
And peoples and kings
And all of the one god that knows everything
"We're traveling to Glaston
Over England's gren lanes
To hear of men's troubles
To hear of their pains
We travel the wide world
Over land and the sea
To tell all the people
How they can be free..."

*Repeat

So sadly I left them
On that old country lane
For I knew that I'd never see them again
One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said...

*Repeat
song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Shadow Of The Moon Wish You Were Here
(Teijo)
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...

I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...

I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...

Wish you were here,
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...

I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...

The snow is getting colder, baby,
And I wish you were here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I wish you were here...

I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
your company...
song list next song previous song Rainbow: Stranger In Us All Wolf To The Moon
(Blackmore/White/Night)
With a rebel mind and a gypsy heart
No place could ever be home
Drawn like a wolf to the moon it calls to my soul
Ain't got no woman, they just tie me down
Freedom is my only friend
I get a feeling destiny lies 'round the bend
One for the road
Slave to the highway
King of the road
Chasing the sun as it sets in the sky
Swear that I'll catch it someday
Lights of the city behind are fadingg away
Makin' my way through the names on the map
No point in feeling alone
As long as I ride the open road I'll always have a home
One for the road
Slave to the highway
King of the road
My future is calling a cry in the wind
Leading me out of my past
Got no destination but know that I'm getting there fast
Crossed many miles got so many to go
Each one calling my name
Won't settle down and you know I'll never be tamed
One for the road
Slave to the highway
King of the road

song list next song previous song Blackmore's Night: Shadow Of The Moon Writing On The Wall
(Blackmore/Night; Trad. comp. by P. Tchaikovsky)
Is it power of intuition?
Is it insecurity?
You know I can read your mind and
You have been deceiving me...

Which face wears the masque this evening?
When will your true colours show?
Will they be as black as shadows
Hiding 'neath the rainbow...

Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...

Paranoia or perception?
Put your faith in a liar's hands
Wanting to believe his words
But never knowing where he stands...

There's too many misconceptions
In this game of consequence
When you're finding that your hero
Is just who you're up against...
song list Ritchie Blackmore: Letter X previous song Ritchie Blackmore: Ritchie Blackmore Vol. 1 Deep Purple: Deep Purple Why Didn't Rosemary?
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans/Simper/Paice)
Way back here we have a climb
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Satan's world are back hell
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

I'm losing time and my mind
Why can't I have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the pain that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get it?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Well here's my views - I always lose
Things i want to do are yesterday's news
Say life's a ball- Well, I've had it all
I'm out flat when I'm out to dance all

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Take me as I am, an 'scuse for a man
Whenever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Oh why won't Rosemary take the pill?
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
