The Spanish Archer Lyrics

	(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

	well there must have been a reason for the smile that you had upon your
	  face last night
	are you the cat that got the cream did you lick your lips did you close
	  your eyes
	can you imagine how it feels it's so hard to reveal
	oh i can't get through and i'm falling
	i'm getting out i'm losing ground
	the spanish archer's gonna bring you down

	is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings to take my place
	let's not drag it out like a cagney death scene
	in this season of change it's not hard to explain
	like the leaves on the trees i'm falling
	and as you turn don't look away
	the spanish archer's gonna make you pay

	do you remember when the sky was blue we used to talk for miles
	and now we drive along in this thundering silence
	it's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours
	i'm letting go and i'm falling
	i'm getting out losing ground
	the spanish archer's gonna bring you down

	well is there something i can say as we stumble to the edge have we gone
	  too far
	why don't we call it a day before we call it a nightmare darlin'
	if we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free
	is the wave of a hand and you're falling and as you turn don't look away
	the spanish archer's gonna make you pay
