KEEP ON GIVING ME LOVE
(Coverdale)

Oh, you told me
You were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say ...
It seems you're best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay ...
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find ...
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give, baby,
I don't mind ...

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love ...

You got fox eyes,
They burn like a sunrise,
You got a walk that makes a man's blood
Turn to wine ...
You bought and sold me
For your lover,
As long as you feed me good, baby,
I don't mind ...
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find ...
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give, baby,
I don't mind ...

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love ...

So you told me
You were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say ...
It seems your best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay
I don't mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find ...
I'm marking time,
If you got love to give, baby,
I don't mind ...

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love ...

GIVE ME KINDNESS
(Coverdale)

I sit here, crying
Looking at the Bar-room floor ...
Holding my glass like a crystal ball.
All the ladies, with their velvet eyes,
Look so sweet an' fine,
One night lovers always discover
They're 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 has begun ...

Honey, if you're lying to me,
I just wanna know
If your love is true ...
Cos' one day I'll choke on my whiskey an' coke
An' I'll shore nuff put the blame on you.
Maybe baby you can show me some more,
You seem to feel it good,
Cos, everytime I wanna hold you, babe,
You gotta give me
What a good woman should ...
But 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 has begun ...

Sing out brother, sing out sister,
Tell it like it is, like it is, like it is,
And lay it on the line ...
Sing out brother, sing out sister,
We can always drink the water,
But, you know we wanna drink the wine ...

So ... baby, baby, give me kindness,
Warm me with the morning sun,
Help me lose this blindness
And see my life has begun ...

TIME & AGAIN
(Coverdale)

Lately,
I realise that it's you,
You are the one
Who makes everything right,
On summer days and winter nights ...

Slowly,
I open my eyes, and
Your smile is there to greet me,
You whisper words
To tell me It's alright,
I'll stay by you in your darkest night ...

Time and again, the situation shows
You make it better ...
Time and again, I realise,
You are the morning of my day ...

Time and again, my feelings let me know
You make it better ...
No wasted words or conversation,
Cos' all I want to do is just talk about
The woman I love ...

I never thought I could be this way,
But, when I hold you in my arms
I know that I just want to stay,
This is the place I should be,
In sweet harmony,
With the woman I love ...
You and l
Can always talk it over as friends,
And you never, ever worry,
You always make it good in the end ...

Time and again, the situation shows
You make it better ...
Time and again, I realise,
You are the morning of my day ...
Time and again, my feelings let me know
You make it better ...
No wasted words or conversation,
Cos' all I want to do is just talk about
The woman I love ...
the woman I love ...

QUEEN OF HEARTS
(Coverdale, Moody)

She was the keeper
Of all my reason,
Possessor of all I owned,
She kept me on the edge of darkness
With words as cold as stone ...
Then you came along,
You're eyes were flashing with desire,
Ooh babe, you got me burning, so much
You got my soul on fire ...

Honey, you move me,
You got me so I can't sleep at night,
You tell me you believe in me,
And you say you're gonna treat me right ...

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start ...
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
They say that love's a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts ...

If I could touch the crystal silence
That we have after making love,
Just to tell you I need you here,
In the glow of the stars above ...
If you ever leave, or deceive,
Or fool around,
You could be right, you could be wrong,
But, woman, I know I'll miss you
When you're gone ...

Honey, you move me,
You got me so I can't sleep at night,
You tell me you believe in me,
And you say you're gonna treat me right ...

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start ...
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
They say that love's a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts ...

You drive me crazy when you walk,
Crazy when you talk, crazy
When you walk with me ...

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start ...
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
You're the Queen of Hearts ...

Honey, you move me,
You got me so I can't sleep at night,
You tell me you believe in me,
And you say you're gonna treat me right ...

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start ...
I'm gonna tell you, holy roller,
They say that love's a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts ...

ONLY MY SOUL
(Coverdale)

Only my soul, stops me crying,
Wondering why I feel alone ...
And only my love keeps me from weeping, so bad,
Giving me strength, to carry on ...

Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way ...
Live the moment, and tomorrow,
For the Lord will take it all
On judgement day ...

Broken dreams lay all around me,
Sad eyed children of despair ...
Whispered voices in the distance
Call me on to who knows where ...

Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way ...
Live the moment, and tomorrow,
Cos' the Lord will take it all
On judgement day,
For the Lord will take it all
On judgement day ...

Hear me crying out for love ...
Hear me crying out for love
I'll never let you know it,
I can only show it ... in my song ...

Only my soul ...

SAY YOU LOVE ME
(Coverdale)

If I could see
Before my blindness,
The smile you gave
Before the pain ...
I could accept
A world of darkness,
And never see the sun again ...
I'm never, ever gonna leave you,
So dry your eyes
And smile again,
Say the words I need to hear ...

Say you love me,
Say you love me,
Say that you need me,
I can't take it, anymore ...

But, I know
I must be strong,
To keep believing,
Right or wrong ...
I've got time
But, I can't wait too long,
I wanna get you home
Where you belong ...

Say you love me,
Say you love me,
I can't take it, anymore ...

Say you love me,
Say you love me,
Say that you need me,
I can't take it, anymore ...

BREAKDOWN
(Coverdale, Moody)

Getting near the end,
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 vou 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 ... no way ...
Never gonna 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 ... breakdown ...

Getting near the end,
I knew the time was right
For a breakdown ...
Megaton surprise, but, your eyes
Never made it a shakedown ...

NORTHWINDS
(Coverdale, Moody)

I'm taking it easy, taking it slow,
Riding home, to lay my body down.
Thought about it long enough,
To let it slip away,
But, I feel like a stranger there
These days . . . ..

The northwind blew me across the water,
Took me far away from home,
It seems it ain't enough
To get down on your knees and pray,
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
But, the rain took my spirit away ....

I'll take the sun before the rain, any day,
Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way
Nothing ever changes,
The song remains the same.
I feel I've got a one way ticket,
And I'm sitting .... sitting on an empty train ....

Been such a long time
On the black ribbon road,
Taking it easy, living from day to day.
Sometimes it ain't so good
When you're flying so high,
Riding on a northwind,
You never get the feeling to try

I'll take the sun before the rain, any day,
Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way
Nothing ever changes,
The song remains the same.
I feel I've got a one way ticket,
And I'm sitting .... sitting on an empty train ....

Northwinds make it all so easy,
Make me live my life too slow.
It seems it ain't enough
To get down on your knees and pray,
I've been waiting for the sun to shine,
But, the rain took my spirit away ....

I'll take the sun before the rain, anyday,
Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way
Nothing ever changes,
The song remains the same.
I feel I've got a one way ticket,
And I'm sitting .... sitting on an empty train ....

So tell me how long has the train been gone .... ?
How long has the train been gone ....
I've been waiting so long,
I even missed an empty train. . . .
