(Blackmore/Coverdale)

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will

Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking of the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend my your hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand

Called to the Captain
To put me ashore

(Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby

Hold on - I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on - I feel I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on - You got to gimme some love, gimme some love

I held back before

(Blackmore/Coverdale)

Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes)

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

Well I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
You're a snow queen looking mean
Tryin' to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
'Cause I always see you hanging' around

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

Tell me, gypsy, can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly

I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
And may be you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
