david coverdale - absolution blues

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for sweet young things.
On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon
Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away,
Wash my tears away.

Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years
But, I was blind to all your fears.
Now I can't stop the tears from falling down.
Come the dawn of judgement day,
I'll get down on my knees and pray,
St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray,
The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.

Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees
Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no.

david coverdale - as long as i have you

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

I,
Get so lonely in the night,
Need you to hold me tight,
Doesn't matter, what you do,
As long as I have you
As long as I have you

I,
Don't want to live in misery,
Only you can set me free,
All my dreams will come true,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you
As long as I have you

Every morning,
I wake on up,
Wipe the tears from my eyes,
Just as long as I wake up,
I don't mind,
I don't mind,
Just as long as I have you

(musical break)

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you

david coverdale - blindman

I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day

I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where is coming from

david coverdale - breakdown

Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

I never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm 'n' blues
Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told.

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown

Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing away
Never see me fall on the ground till I've had my say
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
It's just a breakdown

Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown

david coverdale - celebration

I was running for the folks I know
never had it good
but don't know if they're feeling fine
Had to leave them soon
Recently I seem to have
become a new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past

Open up the door,
gonna be down the road
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

Feeling come and go again
never have to please
After she let you down
bring you to your knees

When you're feeling good,
nothing you can do
gonna take you to the Mardi Gras
piss it out on you

Gonna make you feel alright
Gonna make it through the night
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

If you want to know
what happend in the past
never had it good
come on in and see the crime
I really believe they should

Recently I've seen to have
become an new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past

I've never been one to tease
Only want to please
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

Celebration - I just want to celebrate
Celebration - gimme two, give me one

david coverdale - cry for love

I lost my love in a moment of madness
topk a chance on romance with you
but you roll you dice as cold as ice
lady luck`s got nothing on you

Its too bad I`m all out of luck again
you deal your cards under the table
never giving nothing away
you`re the black queen of hearts
tearing me apart

Sambody throw me a live preserver
`cos I`m going down with a cry for love

I`m outta luck and you`re no lady
this game of love ain`t trating me right
so pour another shot, double what you got
get me drunk as a skunk tonight

Sambody throw me a live preserver
`cos I`m going down with a cry for love

I can`t run I can`t hide
always on the losing side
cant`t you see me
can`t you hear a cry for love
somebody thow me a live preserver
get me off shakey ground
call off the dogs that houd me
`cos I`m going down with a cry for love

david coverdale - don t leave me this way

I'm sick and tired and lonely, sitting in my room
Staring at the shadows, blowing smoke rings at the moon.
Every night I try, but, every night I cry, tryin' to work out why
I just wanna know, got to know, why you keep on pushing me, baby.

You love me when you want, and take me when you need
Whatever you say to me, baby, makes my poor heart bleed.
Now I don't wanna win, but, I don't wanna lose
An' I don't wanna be alone no more, no more
I just wanna give you love, I just got to give you love.

But, you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Ooh baby, don't you leave me this way,
Don't you leave me.

I never wanna hurt you, don't wanna tie you down
But, every time I take a look in the mirror,
I can see the heartache hangin' 'round.
I'm going down to the ground,
Why you always wanna bring me down
Baby, baby, why do you always bring me down.

'Cos you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Baby, baby, don't you leave me this way.
Don't you leave me, baby, baby, baby.
My heart is aching, my heart is breaking for you
And I can't take it anymore, no more, no more.

I'm sick and tired and lonely, nothing left to say
Just thinking 'bout you, baby, takes all my night and day
All my nights, all my days,
Baby, babe, you take my breath away.

'Cos you keep on giving love,
You give another man your love.
Baby, baby, baby, don't you leave me this way.

I can't stop my love from falling down
I wanna love you in the morning,
Wanna love you in the evening time.
Don't you leave me, baby,
Don't you ever leave me, baby.
Don't you leave me, baby, no.

Don't you leave me, baby.

david coverdale - don t lie to me

I've been lie to all my life
It cuts me to the bone
But I've survive
Lies an' deceptions
So hard to see
When I needed you
You turned your back on me
Where were you when I needed you
Everything you asked of me I tried to do

So don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Do anything you want
But don't lie to me

I was drowning in misery
behind your painted smile
You laughed at me
But I've got your number
It's clear to see
I wouldn't treat a dog
The way you treated me

Where were you when I needed you
Everything you asked of me I tried to do

So don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Do anything you want
But don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
One thing I can't stand
Is when you lie to me

Where were you when I needed you
Everything you asked of me I tried to do
And all because I trusted you
I've been lie to all my life
It cuts me to the bone
But I survive
Nothing ever changes
It's still the same
But one day you'll get yours
In the lying game

So don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
One thing I can't stand
Is when you lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Do anything you want
But don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
One thing I can't stand
Is when you lie to me

david coverdale - don t you cry

If you`re tired of holding on
and you fell you can`t go on
When its all too much to bear
call my name

If the sun refuse to shine
and you`re all used up from trying
when you can`t hold back the tears
I`ll be there

So don`t you cry (2x)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
forget about goodbyes
oh baby don`t you cry

If you feel your love grow cold
when it chlls your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold

You`re the reason I love
You`re my heaven above

So dry the tears in your eyes
You`re the reason I`m here
The reason I`m living for

So, if you`re tired of holding on
And feel you can`t go on
When it`s all too much to bear
I`ll be there

So don`t you cry (2x)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
forget about goodbyes
oh baby don`t you cry

david coverdale - easy does it

You said you needed love to warm you in the night,
So you gave yourself to strangers,
Who left you crying at first light.

You think the world you live in doesn't notice you
But, don't you worry, baby,
I'll be there to comfort you.

So take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.

So weep no more, my lady, don't you cry,
I can't paint your portrait with those tears in your eye.

But, I can give you love, every night and day
An' we will walk together,
The sun and moon will light our way.

So take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.

I'll tell you something you'll understand,
Grab a hold now, baby,
And I'll lead you to the promised land.

I'll make you feel so good, make you feel alright
Chase away the shadows and keep you warm at night,
Ooh, I'll keep you warm.

Take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.

Gonna keep you smiling and satisfied,
Nothing but blue skies on a magic carpet ride.

Take it easy, easy,
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow,
I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow.

Anywhere the four winds blow, I'll take you there.

Here we go, baby, hold on.

No more worry, no more pain,
The sun is always shining,
And it never, ever rains,
And it never, ever rains,
And it never, ever rains...

Pocketful of backstage passes.

david coverdale - give me kindness

Sit here crying, looking at the barroom floor
I look on my glass like a crystal ball
Oh, ladies with their velvet eyes,
they look so sweet and fine
One night lovers, always discover
riding on a one track mind..
So tell me who, who, who has been fooling who?

Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
to see my life as it goes...

Honey, if you lie to me
I just want to know if,
if your love is true
Cause one day I'll joke
on all this whiskey and coke
and I'm sure I'll put the blame on you
Maybe baby you could show me some more,
you seem to be feeling good
Everytime I wanna hold you baby,
give me what a good woman should
You tell me who, who, who has been fooling who?

Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
to see my life as it goes...

Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
Tell me like it is, like it is
like it is, day or night
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
We can always drink the water
but you know we gonna drink the wine

Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
Tell me like it is, like it is
like it is, day or night
Sing out brother (sing out brother)
Sing out sister (sing out sister)
We can always drink the water
but you know we gonna drink the wine...

david coverdale - goldies place

I've been looking for shelter
from the pourin' rain
Walking in circles,
comin' back again
Looking out of your window,
waiting for a while
May not be the sweetest woman,
but I love the way you smile...

Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
the door locked anytime?

Well you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
An' you can always smell the roses
but you know, you gotta draw the line

Black satin or lace, painted face
I'll get my lovin', I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want, you can do it with me

So follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place
I'll see you there..

In the perfume garden,
flowers on the wall...
Sweet smell of surrender,
an' you can try it all...
You don't ask no questions
You wont get no lies...

You can get what you want for your pleasure,
an' you can try it on besides...

Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
the door locked anytime?

But you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
But you can always smell the roses
but you know, you gotta draw the line..

Black satin or lace, a painted face
I'll get my lovin', I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free

If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me

So follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place

I said...

Follow me down, follow me down,
down to Goldies place..

I'll see you there..

Follow me down, follow me down
down to Goldies place..

david coverdale - hole in the sky

Everyday I'm more confused...
In my life, you're all I know
Laid your love before me
I thought you knock me down,
you had me screaming for more...

There's a hole in the sky,
don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...

Used to be cool but I ain't no more,
when you told me it was gone...
Always playing love songs alone
Without you near,
I'll never make it on my own...

There's a hole in the sky,
don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...

Now everytime I wanna hold you
You keep your love away from me...
Now I can feel it an' I need it close to me
If you really want me, baby if you really care,
You've got to stay right by my side,
you've got to stay right by my side...

Cause I need you baby...
