The bird he flies the distance From pages two to six Past minstrels in their boxes To the waters of the Styx So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn Don't take the pictures lightly Listen to their sound For from their coloured feeling Experience is found So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn "All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast, for I know what has been, what is now, and what hereafter will occur..." 2 Wring That Neck (Blackmore/Lord/Simper/Paice) (instrumental) 3 Kentucky Woman (Neil Diamond) Kentucky Woman She shines in her own kind of light She looks at you once in a day And what's wrong is alright And I love her, God knows I love her Kentucky Woman She gets to know you She gets to hold you Kentucky Woman She ain't the kind to turn at the drop of her name Well all the things she does they turn you on just the same And I love her, God knows I love her Kentucky Woman She gets to know you She gets to hold you Kentucky Woman I don't want much The Good Lord's earth beneath my feet A gentle touch Cause that one girl in life is sweet and good There ain't no doubt, I'm talking about Kentucky Woman She gets to know you She gets to hold you Kentucky Woman Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind of light She looks at you once in a day And what's wrong is alright And I love her, yes I do, I love her Kentucky Woman She gets to know you She gets to hold you Kentucky Woman Kentucky Woman Kentucky Woman Kentucky Woman 4a Exposition (Blackmore/Lord/Simper/Paice) (instrumental) 4b We Can Work It Out (Lennon/McCartney) Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong While you see it your way Run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out Think of what you're saying You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright Think of what I'm saying We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short and there's no time For fussing and fighting my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again I'll ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While I see it your way There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short and there's no time For fussing and fighting my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again I'll ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While I see it your way There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out At least we can try We can try out to work it out someday		5 Shield (Lord/Blackmore/Evans) Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream While the children play in the field Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life But how strong is the shield? Can peace be found on the carpet above ground Where sky is forever blue So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud Which may take me from you Many things a man can lose His self, his rights, his views But never his heart or his love So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb To the hill up above Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream While our children play in the field I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life And trust in the strength of the shield So trust in you love, and Lucy of above And let light pass like a wheel Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance Kiss the strength of the shield The seeker will be found by the looker on the ground And to his wish he will yield Fate will have it's word, of course [think this line is wrong...] And time will change its course And hold the strength of the shield 6 Anthem (Lord/Evans) When the night wind softly blows through my open window Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow Bringing tears to eyes so tired Eyes I thought could cry no more If the day would only come Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings Take my hand and brush my brow In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating My crazy thoughts are burning When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow 7 River Deep, Mountain High (Spector/Greenwich/Barry) When you were a young girl Did you have a rag doll The only doll you've ever owned Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll Only now my love has grown It gets stronger as the river flows Deeper baby, heaven knows Higher, as it goes Do I love you, my oh my River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah Do I love you, would I cry Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby When you were a young girl Did you have a puppy That always followed you around Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy No I'll never never let you down Cos it gets stronger as the river flows It gets deeper baby, heaven knows It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes Do I love you, my oh my River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah Do I love you, would I cry Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby I love you baby like a flower loves a spring I love you baby like a robin likes to sing I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high Do I love you, my oh my River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah Do I love you, would I cry Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

		1 Chasing Shadows (Lord/Paice) Chasing shadows Over the ground with myself only sleeping Dwarves and giants Twenty feet tall Fill the room with their grieving Sounds of breathing Sharpen my ears then they fade into nothing Someone's laughter Out in the street fills the night with their loving I feel the axe in my head Running his hands through my bed Not even dreaming i seem to be dead Colours of yellow and colours of red All i'm asking Some secret voice is to lead me to darkness I'm so tired Dawn never comes I just lie in the shadows 2 Blind (Lord) I see reflections in the water Autumn colours, summer's daughter And as as the year is growing older I see winter on my shoulder I stand in the haze Watching stormy ripples grow on my own Never knew your needed Till I found myself standing here alone And in the water, such a sad face Slowly drowning, such a sad face If only I could change the seasons Like a poet, I've my reasons It started to snow in the middle of July Wonder why Never did understand you My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky In the summer days we flew to the sun On melting wings But the seasons changed to fast Leave us all behind Blind But then the stone fell on the water Putting end to summer's daughter And me, I turn away remembering All the seasons, such a sad thing It started to rain in the middle of the sun Winter's begun Never did understand you My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky In the summer days we flew to the sun On melting wings But the seasons changed to fast Leave us all behind Blind 3 Lalena (Donovan) When the sun goes to bed That's the time your raise your head That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena Arty Tart la de da Can your part get much sadder That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena Run you hand thru your hair Paint your face with despair That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena When the sun goes to bed That's the time your raise your head That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena Arty Tart Oh so la de da Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena Oh, Lalena 4a Fault Line (Blackmore/Lord/Simper/Paice) (instrumental) 4b The Painter (Blackmore/Lord/Evans/Simper/Paice) Painter Come colour up my life Oh painter Come colour up my life Take away the misery Take away the strife Writer Make me up a play Writer Make the meaning gay [For I don't know who I am] Just give me words to say Singer Let me sing a song Singer Let me sing a song You don't have to worry Cause singer you can sing along	Why Didn't Rosemary (Blackmore/Lord/Evans/Simper/Paice) There's a black hill We had a climb Everything I need but nothing's mine Satan's world, I've had a kill Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill? Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill Oh man won't do it, but the devil will I'm losing time and my mind Why can't I ever have what's naturally mine? I got life and the things that go with it If there's something else, where can i get it? Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill Oh 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, I've had it all Out there in another dance hall Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill Oh man won't do it, but the devil will Take me as I am, an excuse for a man Wherever I push someone stops my hand As a matter of interest, tell me if you will Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill? Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill Oh man won't do it, but the devil will Oh, why won't Rosemary ever take the pill? Bird Has Flown (Evans/Blackmore/Lord) Oh the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow The sensation is not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me The sensation's not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known And the bird it has flown Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me Oh it's started snowing April (Blackmore/Lord) April is a cruel time Even though the sun may shine And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away Still falls the April rain And the valley's filled with pain And you can't tell me quite why As i look up to the grey sky Where it should be blue Grey sky where I should see you Ask why, why it should be so I'll cry, say that I don't know Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile But then the feeling comes again of an April without end Of an April lonely as they come In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun And the springtime's the season of the night Grey sky where it should be blue Grey sky where I should see you Ask why, why it should be so I'll cry, say that I don't know I don't know

Let me know if you find something that is not right or if you have something on your mind.
