Song Lyrics
Chasing shadows
Words & music by Jon Lord and Ian Paice
Chasing shadows over a horde with a sound of revealing
Dwarves and giants (twenty feet tall) fill the room with their clearing
Ooh ouh
Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears when they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street fills the night with their loving
Ooh ouh
I feel the ice 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
Ooh ooh
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
Ooh ooh
I feel the ice in my head
Running his hands through my bed
Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red

Blind
Words & music by Jon Lord
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And 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 you were needing
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 have 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 so fast
Leave us all behind... laah
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 so fast
Leave us all behind... laah

Lalena
Words & music by Donovan Leitch
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot and life, Lalena
Can't blame ya, Lalena!
Ha te ta la de dah
Can your heart get much sadder?
That's your lot and life, Lalena
Can't blame ya, Oh Lalena!
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That's your lot and life, Lalena
Can't blame ya, Oh Lalena!
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face, paint your face up with despair
That's your lot and life, Lalena
I can't blame ya, Oh Lalena!
Hey
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot and life, Lalena
I can't blame ya, Lalena!
Ah te ta oh so la de dah
Can your heart ever get, ever get much sadder
That's your lot and life, Lalena
I can't blame ya, Oh Lalena!
Oh Lalena La-La-Laa-Lalena
I can't blame, I cant blame ya, Lalena
Oh Lalena! So la de dah... Lalena!

The painter
Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Rod Evans, Nick Simper and Ian 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 gimme words to say
Singer! Let me sing a song!
Singer! Let me sing a song!
But you don't have to worry 'cos singer you can sing along

Why didn't Rosemary?
Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Rod Evans, Nick Simper and Ian Paice
Way back here we have a climb
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Satan's world are back hell
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Let me 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 have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the pain that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get it?
Let me 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- Well, I've had it all
I'm out flat when I'm out to dance all
Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will
Take me as I am, an 'scuse for a man
Whenever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will
Oh why won't Rosemary take the pill?
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

The bird has flown
Words & music by Rod Evans, Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord
For the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the robber 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 robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
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... Hey
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Sensation! 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
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
=========
April
Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falleth the April rain and the valley's filled with pain
And you can't say if I cry
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 a [???] 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 is 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
