I feel the ice in my head
Running its 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 hide in the shadows

I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red



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 I needed you '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



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

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

The painter

(Lord/Blackmore/Evans/Paice/Simper)

Painter - come colour up my life
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
Old 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
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, I've had it all
Out there in another dance hall

Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Old 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
Old man won't do it, but the devil will

Why won't Rosemary ever take the pill?



Bird has flown

(Evans/Blackmore/Lord)

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 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 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

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
