Listen, Learn, Read On
Deep Purple
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans)

In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

"Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn,
on the foaming beach of the ocean,
in the day of trouble,
I shall be of more service to thee
than three hundred salmon..."

The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

"Three times I have been born
I know this from meditation..."

The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the Styx

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

"All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,
for I know what has been, what is now,
and what hereafter will occur..."

Kentucky woman
She shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once in a day
And what’s wrong is alright
And I love her,
God knows I love her

Kentucky woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky woman

She ain’t the kind to turn
At the drop of her name
Well all the things she does
They turn you on just the same
And I love her,
God knows I love her

Kentucky woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky woman

I don’t want much
The good lord’s earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
Cause that one girl in life is sweet and good
There ain’t no doubt, I’m talking about

Kentucky woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky woman

Kentucky woman she shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once in a day
And what’s wrong is alright
And I love her, yes I do, I love her

Kentucky woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone

We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

We can work it out
We can work it out

At least we can try
We can try out to work it out someday

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While the children play in the field
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
But how strong is the shield?
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
Where sky is forever blue

So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
Which may take me from you

Many things a man can lose
His self, his rights, his views
But never his heart or his love
So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb
To the hill up above

Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
While our children play in the field
I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
And trust in the strength of the shield

So trust in you love, and Lucy of above
And let light pass like a wheel
Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance
Kiss the strength of the shield

The seeker will be found by the looker on the ground
And to his wish he will yield

Fate will have it's word, of course [check this line]
And time will change its course
And hold the strength of the shield

When the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush me by
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown

It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never never let you down

Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

You think by leaving me the sun will go away
You think that if you go there'll be no other way
But your leaving now won't even spoil my day

Oh no no no
Oh no no no

You keep a-waiting for the tears I'm supposed to cry
The promise leaves so I'm supposed to die
I'd forgotten who you were until you dropped on by

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no

You think I'm guilty throwing off the likes of you
That there'll be no one else but there'll be quite a few
At least I've got my head but somehow I'll pull through

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no

Outside her window
That's where I am every night and every day
But outside her window
I cry, I cried my life away

There's a jukebox a-playin'
A half a block down
Singing I'm going to the river
I'm gonna jump on in and drown
But I ain't gonna do it, no
Just gonna keep on hanging around

Oh it's all over
Oh it's all over
All over
Now, now, now, now

But outside her window
A pretty bird comes to play
And I know, I know I must have cried a teardrop
Because I scared that pretty little thing right on away

When I see two young lovers
Walkin' down the street
It just hits me
When I see their two lips meet
Oh I put my head
Right over where my heart used to be, 'cos

It's all over
Oh don't tell me it's all over
It's all over
Now, now, now, now

No, no, no Gloria
Oh try and help me, Gloria
Standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria

Oh standing at the station
I've been waiting there for you Gloria
Oh I've been waiting, I've been waiting there for you Gloria
I've been waiting, waiting for you Gloria

No, long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Don't you know I'm standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria
