(Coverdale)

River song (Coverdale)

I was born by the river
Raised by the sea
Baptized in muddy water 
To drown the devil in me
I'm going back to the river
Down to the stream
I'm gonna follow that water
And find my dream

Where St. John be waiting on me
To wash my sins away
Hey St. Christopher pray for me
Cos baby I'm on my way 

Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbows end 
Maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow

 You know the gypsy woman told me
About a river of gold
Full of dreams for the asking
In the valley of souls
So I called to the captain
Come on take my hand
I'm gonna follow the water
To the Promised Land

Where St. John be waiting on me
To wash my sins away
Hey St. Christopher pray for me
Cos baby I'm on my way

Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbows end
And maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow

She give me (Coverdale)

She give me love
She give me pain
She give the whole damn world
And take it back again
She stole my heart
She mess my mind
She took my happiness
And sold it for a dime

 But she give love love love
Love love love 

She give me truth
She tell me lies
She irresistible
Her kiss can paralyze
She bittersweet
Sugar cane
I'm her whipping boy
She my hurricane

She give love love love
Love love love

She so fine 
She with me all the time
Everything she does
Always blow my mind
Then she give me love
Then she give me love

 She treat me good 
She treat me mean
My baby got more shake
Than a gypsy tambourine
She soothe my soul
She shake my tree
I'm her flower child
She my honey bee

She give me love love love
Love love love

She give me shoe
Stiletto screw
Spike heel track across my back
Saying I love you
She give me pain
I go insane
So drive me crazy baby
Here I come again

She give me love love love 
Love love love

She so fine
She with me all the time
Everything she does 
Always blow my mind 

Then she give me love
Then she give me love 

She so fine 
She with me all the time
Everything she does 
Always blow my mind
First she give me love
Then she give me pain
I'm laughin' in the sun
Cryin in the rain 

Then she give me love 
Then she give me love

Don't you cry (Coverdale)

If you're tired of holding on
And you feel you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
Call my name

If the sun refused 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
Don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your yes
Forget about goodbyes
Ooh baby don't you cry

If you feel your love grow cold
When it chills your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold
Think of me
And don't you cry
Don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Ooh baby don't you cry

 You're the reason I love
You're my heaven above
You're the reason I try
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 you feel you can't go on 
When it's all too much to bear
I'll be there 

So don't you cry
Don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your yes
Forget about goobyes
Ooh baby don't you cry

Love is blind (Coverdale/Slick)

they say love
love is blind
and true love
is hard to find
it makes you wonder
now you're yesterdays news
at the bitter end of a love affair
some you win some you lose
'cause love is blind

they say time
will heal the pain
but sooner of later
it's back again
but don't be angry
that your heart could be so wrong
when that old familar feelings got you
singing the same old song
'cause love is blind

 now your days
are spent preparing
for the nights
you sleep alone
it makes you wonder
why you never learn from the past
'cause this ain't the first time baby
an' it won't be the last
'cause love is blind

 so if love
love is blind
and true love
so hard to find
there's only one remedy
to take away the pain
you got to roll with the punches baby
and start all over again
'cause love is blind

Slave (Coverdale/Slick)

You know I didn't mean to hurt you baby
I didn't really mean to cause you pain
So if you want I will cover you with kisses
And I will be your slave again

I need your love and understanding baby
But you changed the lock on your front door
If you want I will cover you with roses
I want to be your slave again

I wanna be your slave 

You know I'm getting tired of back door loving
You give me all my heart desires
Lord have mercy when I slipped
And fell and I broke your heart
I wanna be your slave again 

I wanna be your slave

If you want I will cover you with kisses
Sweet surrender to your touch
If you want take all I give
I wanna be your slave
I wanna be your slave again 

So here I am waiting to see you baby
Stacking roses around your front door
I miss your love, I miss your loving touch now mama
I wanna be your slave again

I wann be your slave

Cry for love (Coverdale/Slick/Bossi)

I lost my heart in a moment of madness
Took a chance on romance with you
But you roll your dice as cold as ice
Lady luck's got nothing on you 

It's 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
Cheating on me night and day 

It's too bad I'm all outta luck again 

Some body throw me a life 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 treating me right
So pour another shot, double what you got
Get me drunk as a skunk tonight 

It's too bad I'm all outta luck again 

Somebody throw me a life preserver
Cos ' I'm going down with a cry for love 

I can't run, I can't hide
Always on the losing side
Can't you see me
Can't you hear a cry for love

Somebody throw me a life preserver
Get me off shaky ground
Call off the dogs that hound me
Cos' I'm going down with a cry for love

Living on love (Coverdale/Slick/Bossi)

When I need a hand to guide me
I find you there
And everything you give to me
Is filled with love and care
You take away the memory
Of a thousand rainy days
With promises of summer love 
You chase the clouds away
Mow if the sky should fill with rain
I know the sun will shine again 

When I think of all the heartache
I've been through
The many mistakes I had to make 
To lead me here to you
All the jurt and sadness
Don't seem to much
As the walls I built around my heart
Crumble when we touch
Through my life was filled with pain
You show me how to love again 

Now I'm never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I'm living on love 
Never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I'm living on love
Nothing's gonna stop me know
I'm living on love with you

So as you lay beside me
I'll sing songs of love to you
Cos' everything I'm feeling babe
I know you feel it to 
Nothing can come between us
No dark clouds in the way
All the love I feel for you 
Grows stronger every day
After all is said and done
I know you're the only one

Now I'm never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I'm living on love
Never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I'm living on love 
Nothings gonna stop me now
Cos ' I'm living on love with you

Midnight blue (Coverdale/Slick)

In the cold light of the morning
I watch the sunrise slowly dawning
I close me eyes and I see you there
And the silence takes my breath away
I can't stand to face another day
In the evening when the sun goes down,
I reach out for you but you're not around 
You color my world midnight blue
So what's a man like me to do
With all the love I feel for you

Come and take me midnight blue
Here I am waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me
When I need sympathy

 Under street lights I walk alone
Hiding in shadows from dusk to dawn
The taste of your perfume
On the cold night air
Leaves a sadness hanging over me
The thought of you won't let me be

Come and take me midnight blue
Here I am waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me 
When I need sympathy

Too many tears (Coverdale/Vandenberg)

I used to be the man for you  
Did everything you wanted me to  
So tell me baby  
Where did I go wrong  

I told you what you wanted to know  
Precious secrets never spoken before  
All I'm asking  
Where did I go wrong  

Some things are better left unsaid  
But all I do is cry instead
Now I've cried me a river  
Thinking how it used to be  

There've been too many tears falling  
And there've been too many hearts  
Breaking in two  
Remember what we had together  
Believing it would last forever  
So tell me baby  
Where did I go wrong

Everything I had was yours  
More than I have ever given before  
So won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad

I guess I'm fooling myself  
‘Cause I want you and no one else  
And I can't understand  
Why you're doing these things to me  
There've been too many tears falling  
And there've been too many hearts  
Breaking in two 
Remember what we had together  
Believing it would last forever  
So tell me baby  
Where did I go wrong

Now my heart is breaking  
My whole world is shaking  
“Cause I can't understand  
Why you're doing these things to me  

There've been too many tears falling  
And there've been too many hearts  
Breaking in two  
Remember what we had together  
Believing it would last forever  
So tell me baby  
Where did I go wrong

Don't lie to me (Coverdale/Slick)

I've been lied to all my life  
It cuts me to the bone  
But I've survived  
Lies an' deceptions  
So hard to see  
When I needed you  
You turned you 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 you 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 lied 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

Wherever you may go  (Coverdale)

You mean the world to me  
More than I can say  
And when I look at you  
It takes my breath away  
I look into your eyes  
And see the love for me  
Once again I realise  
There's no where else  
I'd rather be  

And when my life is over  
When my time is through  
I'll still be loving you

You're all I want  
Everything I need  
When I look at you  
It's easy to believe  
No matter what you say  
No matter what you do  
Wherever you may go  
My heart will follow you

You stand beside me  
When my backs against the wall  
You cradle my uncertainty  
And catch me when I fall  
So put your arms around me  
Like a circle around the sun  
Touch me with your healing hand  
And show my life has just begun  

And when this time is over  
When this life is through  
I'll still be loving you

You're all I want  
Everything I need  
When I look at you  
It's easy to believe  
No matter what you say  
No matter what you do  
Wherever you may go  
My heart will follow you  

And when my life is over  
When my time is through  
I'll still be loving you

You're all I want  
Everything I need  
When I look at you  
It's easy to believe  
No Matter what you say  
No matter what you do  
Wherever you may go  
My heart will follow you
