david coverdale - too many tears

I used to be the man for you
did everything you wanted me to
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong
I told you what you wanted to know
precious secrets never spoken before
all I`asking
where did I go wrong?

Same things are better left unsaid
but all I do is cry instead
now I`ve cried me a river
thinking how it used to be

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

Everything I have it was yours
More than I have ever have given before
so won`t you tell me
did I hurt you so bad?
I guess I`m fooling myself
`couse I want you and noone else
and I can`t understand
why you`re doing these things to me

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

Now my heart is braking
my hole world is shaking
`couse I can`t understand
why you`re doing these things to me
there`s been too many tears falling

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

david coverdale - absolution blues

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
Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no.

david coverdale - blindman

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,
I don't know where is coming from

david coverdale - take me for a little while

(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.
Somebody take me, take me, won't you make me smile...

david coverdale - love is blind

They say love, Love is blind
And true love is hard to find
It Makes you wonder
Now you're yesterday's news
At the bitter end of a love affair:
Some you win some you lose

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

They say time can heal the pain
But sooner or later it's back again
Don't be angry that your heart can be so wrong
When that old familiar feelings got you singing the same old song

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Now your days
Are spent preparing
For the nights
You sleep alone
It makes you wonder
Why you never learn from the past
'Cause this ain't the first time, baby
And it won't be the last

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

love is blind
Love is blind

So if love, Love is blind
And true love, is so hard to find
There is only one remedy, to take away the pain
You gotta roll with the punches, baby,
Start all over again

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind

david coverdale - the last note of freedom

Here I am, burnin' man,
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
all my dreams are heaven known

I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
beaten

Rise up burnin' man,
seize the wild take command.
Days of thunder see me shine,
All my dreams turn out fine

I know the suffering will end, my friend,
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn,
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying,
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy,
It soon will pass
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
beaten,
Where love is defeated

I know the suffering will end, my friend,
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn,
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying,
Heard from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy,
It soon will pass

We need love
You gotta want it so bad
We need it now,
So run to it fast

I know it,
And the world will be cheated
I can't go on, in a world where love is
defeated
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
defeated

Where love is defeated
Can't go on, in a world where love's
defeated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The last note of freedom

david coverdale - 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

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,
Breakdown

david coverdale - easy does it

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,
And it never, ever rains...

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.

'Scuse me if my tongue gets tired
An' I will make some sweet love to you.

Fingers crossed, they get it right.

david coverdale - time on my side

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,
I don't need it anymore..v etc etc ..

david coverdale - waiting on 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,
I'll be waiting on you, babe.

You mean the world to me

when my time is through
i'll still be loving you

everything i need
when i look at you
it's easy to believe
no matter what you say

when my backs against the wall
you cradle my uncertainty
and catch me when i fall
so put your arms around me
like a circle around the sun
touch me with your healing hands
and show my life has just begun

everything i need
when i look at you

david coverdale - as long as i have you

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

I,
Get so lonely in the night,
Need you to hold me tight,
Doesn't matter, what you do,
As long as I have you
As long as I have you

I,
Don't want to live in misery,
Only you can set me free,
All my dreams will come true,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you
As long as I have you

Every morning,
I wake on up,
Wipe the tears from my eyes,
Just as long as I wake up,
I don't mind,
I don't mind,
Just as long as I have you

(musical break)

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you

david coverdale - lady

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"

You might as well set me free...
