Whitesnake

David Coverdale Whitesnake Lyrics
1.Blindman

(coverdale)

I was dreaming 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, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without 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, i don't know,
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, i don't know,
I don't know where is coming from


2.Lady

(coverdale/moody)

She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
She was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said i'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "oh no this ain't no place for me"

Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You gotta move if you wanna be free
Like the wind i'm just blowin' anywhere i please
Tried to change her ways
I said i'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love i need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Tried to change her ways
I said i'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love i need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Cos she say: "oh no, this ain't no place for me"

You might as well set me free...


3.Goldies Place

(coverdale)

I've been looking for shelter
From the pourin' rain
Walking in circles,
Comin' back again
Looking out of your window,
Waiting for a while
May not be the sweetest woman,
But i love the way you smile...

Looks like i been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door locked anytime?

Well you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
An' you can always smell the roses
But you know, you gotta draw the line

Black satin or lace, painted face
I'll get my lovin', i'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want, you can do it with me

So follow me down, follow me down,
Down to goldies place
I'll see you there..

In the perfume garden,
Flowers on the wall...
Sweet smell of surrender,
An' you can try it all...
You don't ask no questions
You wont get no lies...

You can get what you want for your pleasure,
An' you can try it on besides...

Looks like i been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door locked anytime?

But you can shake it - shake it
Fake it - fake it
Make it feel so fine
But you can always smell the roses
But you know, you gotta draw the line..

Black satin or lace, a painted face
I'll get my lovin', i'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free

If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me
If you want, you can do it with me

So follow me down, follow me down,
Down to goldies place

I said...

Follow me down, follow me down,
Down to goldies place..

I'll see you there..

Follow me down, follow me down
Down to goldies place..


4.Whitesnake

(coverdale/moody)

In the shadows of the dark night,
You need a woman by your side..
She'll help you make it in the cold light
And keep you warm an' satisfied

If you want somemore lovin'
Drive you out of your mind
Give a little sweetness and sugar
Just make it sure she understands...

White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, i love

Got a whitesnake mama
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
Just enough to see ya through

You want to find a little angel
Sweet surrender in her eyesv broke down heart through morning
To the moon is on the rise

Night time is the right time
For rolling on the silent gloves
Daytime, nighttime, anytime is the right time
Stealin' round and makin' some love...

White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, i love

Got a whitesnake mama
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
Just enough to see ya through

Listen...

Back door man ain't done nothing,
But creep around the door..
When you see his woman weepin'
You know the snake is there for more

Day time, night time is the right time
For rolling on the silent gloves
Night time is the right time
Make it sure you're the only one

White skin women keep me howlin' for more
Brown skin honey, i love

Got a whitesnake mama,
You wanna shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come an' let it crawl on you,
And you, and you...

Got a whitesnake mama (endless repeat)


5.Time On My Side

(coverdale/moody)

All of my life i been searching
Walking on easy ground
Son of my father
Never being pushed around

I've got the lord in my shadow
Devil in my blood
If you fool me baby
I'm gonna get you like a good man should

Like a gypsy, a traveler i was born
A vagabond without virtue, i was blessed before the dawn
I greet the morning, with my back against the sun
You'll never see me baby
'cause i'm always on the run...

I got time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
Before i get much older

Born on the dark side,
Where the sun man never showes..
I never had nobody to cry when i was gone
I'm always in the moonwalk,
I got the drifter in my blood
If you fool me baby, gonna get you like a good man should

I got time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
Before i get much older

Time on my side
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side
Sister bluebird told me
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down
Before i get much older

Time on my side
I don't need, i don't need nobody
Time on my side
I got the lord, the lord in my shadow
Time on my side
Lean upon my shoulder
Time on my side,
I don't need no one..
Time on my side,
I got the devil, the devil in my blood
Time on my side,
I don't need it anymore..v etc etc ..


6.Peace Lovin' Man

(coverdale)

You changed your reason with the wave of your hand...
Fill me with wonder - like a child
'cos you'll never understand...

It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on

If you wanna make love, ooh, you whisper my name
I say i never wanna use you for your love
But you tail me, and you make it, all the same

It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on...

'cos i'm a man
A peaceful lovin' man
And i'm so tired to hold it inside
When i feel, i gonna hide
Peace lovin' man,
Peace lovin' man
Peace lovin' man...

It's a sin, not to say when it's over
It's a crime, to deny when it's gone
'cos you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin, if you carry it on

'cos im a man
Ohh, baby - i'm a man

Peace lovin' man
Baby, i'm just a man
Peace lovin' man
I can't use you anymore...

Peace lovin' man...


7.Sunny Days

(coverdale)

I'm tired of bars in boston
'bin feeling small in new york
Scared of guns in houston
An' tired of business talk

Don't wanna talk about it baby,
Don't wanna get in no fight
I just wanna go to a rock'n'roll show
An' shiver and shake all night...

There's a riot in the hyatt
An' madness in the holiday inn
So throw your big leg over me, babe
I might not feel this good again

C-c-crazy, the road can make you crazy
Makes you bold, an' get cold
Cold in your jellyroll...
So wontcha...

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leavin' until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me, many miles away...

Here, there, everywhere
No doubt about it, i had my share
Paid my dues, got my rock'n'roll shoes
An' thats alright?
But, i never, never, never thought i'd see the day
When i'd be dancin alone, so take me where the music,
Take me where the music play...
Then you can...

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many
Oh so many...
I left behind me...
Many miles away...


8.Hole In The Sky

(coverdale)

Everyday i'm more confused...
In my life, you're all i know
Laid your love before me
I thought you knock me down,
You had me screaming for more...

There's a hole in the sky,
Don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
Don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...

Used to be cool but i ain't no more,
When you told me it was gone...
Always playing love songs alone
Without you near,
I'll never make it on my own...

There's a hole in the sky,
Don't tell me you're sorry - who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
Don't you tell me you're sorry - who cares...

Now everytime i wanna hold you
You keep your love away from me...
Now i can feel it an' i need it close to me
If you really want me, baby if you really care,
You've got to stay right by my side,
You've got to stay right by my side...

Cause i need you baby...


9.Celebration

(coverdale/moody)

I was running for the folks i know
Never had it good
But don't know if they're feeling fine
Had to leave them soon
Recently i seem to have
Become a new born man
I want to share with everyone
What happened in my past

Open up the door,
Gonna be down the road
Celebration, celebration,
Celebration, celebration

Feeling come and go again
Never have to please
After she let you down
Bring you to your knees

When you're feeling good,
Nothing you can do
Gonna take you to the mardi gras
Piss it out on you

Gonna make you feel alright
Gonna make it through the night
Celebration, celebration,
Celebration, celebration

If you want to know
What happend in the past
Never had it good
Come on in and see the crime
I really believe they should

Recently i've seen to have
Become an new born man
I want to share with everyone
What happened in my past

I've never been one to tease
Only want to please
Celebration, celebration,
Celebration, celebration

Celebration - i just want to celebrate
Celebration - gimme two, give me one
