Northwinds

David Coverdale Northwinds Lyrics
1.Keep On Giving Me Love

(coverdale/moody)

Oh, 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

You got fox eyes,
They burn like a sunrise,
You got a walk that makes a mans' blood turn to wine.
You bought and sold me
For you 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


2.Northwinds

(coverdale)

Taking it easy, taking it slow
Riding home to lay my body down...
Thought about it long enough
To let it slip away, yeah...
But i feel like a stranger here today

Lost in who across the water
Took me far away from home
It seems it ain't enuff
To get down on your knees and pray, yeah
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
'thou the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel i got a one way ticket,
Oh i'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road
Taking it easy, living from day to day...
Sometimes it ain't so good when you find it so high
Riding on the northwind,
You'll never get the feeling to try...

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel i got a one way ticket,
Oh, i'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

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

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday,
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel i got a one-way ticket,
Oh, i'm sittin', sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?

I even missed an empty train...


3.Give Me Kindness

(coverdale)

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...


4.Time And Again

(coverdale)

Lately, i realise that it's you
You are the one who makes everything right,
Summer days and winter nights
Slowly, i open my eyes and your smile is there to greet me
And 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 realize,
You are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better...

We wasted words on conversation,
'cos all i wanna do is just talk about,
The woman i love, woman i love...
I never thought i could be this way,
When i hold you in my arms
I know i just wanna stayv this is the place i should be,
In sweet harmony with the woman i love..

You and i could always
Talk it over as friends
And you never, ever worried,
We always make it good in the end..

Time and again the situation shows,
You make it better...
Time and again i realize,
You are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better...

No wasted words on conversation,
A necessary seperation
'cos all i wanna do is just talk about,
The woman i love, the woman i love...


5.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,
Your eyes were flashing with desire,
Oh 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,
Like the wind thro' a willow tree
Ain't no doubt about it, baby,
You make the blindman see

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,
Gonna tell you, holy roller,
You're the queen of hearts

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


6.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,
And 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

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...


7.Say You Love Me

(coverdale)

If i could see before my time ends
The smile you gave me before the pain
I could accept the world of darkness
Never see the sun again...

Never ever gonna leave ya,
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 belive in right or wrong...
I've got time but i can't wait too long
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, baby, baby, baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, i can't take it anymore...

Say you love me, say you love me
I can't take it, i can't take it anymore...
Say you love me, oh baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, i can't take it anymore...

I can't take it anymore...


8.Breakdown

(coverdale/moody)

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
