Mistreated: (David Coverdale, Blackmore) I've been mistreated, I've been abused. I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have. I've been lonely, I've been cold. I've been looking for a woman to have and hold 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. I've been mistreated, I've been abused. I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh. Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman. I've been losing my mind. |

Sixteenth Century Greensleeves: (Dio, Blackmore) It's only been an hour Since he locked her in the tower The time has come He must be undone By the morning Many times before The tyrant's opened up the door Then someone cries Still we close our eyes Not again Meet me when the sun is in the western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Cross bows in the fire light Greensleeves waving Madman raving Through the shattered night Flames are getting higher Make it leap unto the spire Draw bright down Cut it to the ground We shall dance around the fire No more night We have seen the light Let it shine on bright Hang him higher |

Catch the Rainbow: (Dio, Blackmore) When evening falls She'll run to me Like whispered dreams Your eyes can't see Soft and warm She'll touch my face A bed of straw Against the lace We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life's not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me, come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life's not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me, come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn |

Stargazer: (Dio, Blackmore) High noon Oh I'd sell my soul for water Nine years' worth Of breakin' my back There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard See how he glides Why he's lighter than air Oh I see his face Where is your star Is it far, Is it far, is it far When do we leave I believe, yes, I believe In the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone Just to see him fly Don't know why Now where do we go Hot wind moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins while we put his wing together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky Oh I see his face Where is your star It is far, is it far, is it far When do we leave, yeah I believe, I believe In the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly So many die All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound as he falls instead of rising Time standing still Then there's blood on the sand Oh I see his face Where was your star Was it far, was it far When did we leave We believe, we believe, we believe In the heat and rain With whips and chains To see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With out flesh and bone To see him fly But why, it don't rain With all our chains, Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now look, look, look, look Look at this tower of stone I see a rainbow rising Look there on the horizon And I'm coming home Coming home, I'm coming home Time is standing still He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back, take me back Back to my home, oh, oh... |

Still I'm Sad: (Paul Smith, Jim McCarthy) See the stars come falling down from the sky Gently passing they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down in its crazy way Still I'm sad For myself my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they're lost See the wind come gently blow time into my heart And the rain comes falling down while we're apart Still I'm sad Still I'm sad See the stars come falling down from the sky Gently passing they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face And the rain will come falling down in its crazy, crazy way Oh, oh, oh Still I'm sad Still I'm sad |
