Solo: Marsden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Blindman (Coverdale) 5:08 I was dreamin' 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, feeling low, I just couldn't make out which way to go Chasing rainbows that have no end The road is long without a 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 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 where it's coming from Solo: Marsden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Ain't Gonna Cry No More (Coverdale, Moody) 5:51 Rising with the morning sun I turn to greet the dawn, Knowing I must face another day.... Sleepless night behind me, Just a memory of pain, My heart has always been a cross to bear.... Lord, I know the sunshine, But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away.... I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again, Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.... All around me, shadows fall, Tho' day has just begun, I realize I'm on my own again.... Memories of broken dreams, As distant as the sun, Are drifting like an echo in the wind.... Lord, I know the sunshine, But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away.... I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again, Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.... Babe, I thought about it, But, it just ain't done no good, You hold my heart and soul within your hand.... All the time, you're in my mind, I never thought you could be so blind, Maybe someday I will understand.... Lord, I know the sunshine, But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away.... I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again, Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.... Hey, mama you drive me crazy, Knowing you're my hearts desire, Why'd you go and hand me up this way.... You've given me love, given me love, Now tell me what you were thinking of, Why'd you go and steal my soul away.... Lord, I know the sunshine, But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away.... I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again, Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.... Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today....

You ask me how I am And if I'm doing well, When all you want from me Is just to ring your bell.... Take your time, we can do some lines, Cos' it's alright.... We can feel fine drinking midnight wine, Cos' it's alright.... Black and blue, black and blue, Come over here, baby, And love me 'til I'm black and blue.... You got the key to love Dressed in your innocent smile, You know you touched me, baby, So won't you stay for a while.... And take your time, we can do some lines, Cos' it's alright.... We can feel fine drinking midnight wine, Cos' it's alright.... Black and blue, black and blue, Come over here, baby, And love me 'til I'm black and blue....
