Powerhouse lyrics

Child on a painted horse

Streams that will run their course

Gone to a far away shore

Ooh, ooh, ah

My painted horse is weeping

Days of another kind

Frost gets a bruising vine

Why did the carpenter die

Ooh, ooh, ah

My painted horse is weeping

Sweet as a rose so fine

Peaceful as a final time

How old could the lion man cry

Ooh, ooh, ah

My painted horse is weeping

(South)

I got a certan little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Blackmore/Lord/Simper/Paice)

(instrumental)

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahouh bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Pass your mother, lose your brother
Be a lover, too
Well all together make it better
You gotta cry free

Bridges burnin', eyes are turnin'
Now they're learnin' fools
They're gonna talk it over
While they're talkin'
You gotta cry free

Cry free

Fists are shakin', homes are breakin'
Know what's makin' blues
Oh true convictions, satesfaction
While you cry free
