Listen, Learn, Read on.

(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)

In ages past when spells were cast 

In a time of men in steel 

When a man was taught no special thing 

It was all done by feel 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

Hear the song of lovely Joan 

Her sound so sweet and clear 

In the courtroom of the King 

Among children and the peers 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

"Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn, 

On the foaming beach of the ocean, 

In the day of trouble, 

I shall be of more service to thee 

Than three hundred salmon..." 

The hare he bounds across the page 

Past castles white and fair 

Past dreaming chessmen on their boards 

With a fool's mate as a snare 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

"Three times I have been born 

I know this from meditation..." 

The bird he flies the distance 

From pages two to six 

Past minstrels in their boxes 

To the waters of the Styx 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

Don't take the pictures lightly 

Listen to their sound 

For from their coloured feeling 

Experience is found 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

"All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast, 

For I know what has been, what is now, 

And what hereafter will occur..."

Kentucky Woman.

(Diamond)

Kentucky Woman 

She shines in her own kind of light 

She looks at you once in a day 

And what's wrong is alright 

And I love her, 

God knows I love her 

Kentucky Woman 

She gets to know you 

She gets to hold you 

Kentucky Woman 

She ain't the kind to turn 

At the drop of her name 

Well all the things she does 

They turn you on just the same 

And I love her, 

God knows I love her 

Kentucky Woman 

She gets to know you 

She gets to hold you 

Kentucky Woman 

I don't want much 

The Good Lord's earth beneath my feet 

A gentle touch 

Cause that one girl in life is sweet and good 

There ain't no doubt, I'm talking about 

Kentucky Woman 

She gets to know you 

She gets to hold you 

Kentucky Woman 

Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind of light 

She looks at you once in a day 

And what's wrong is alright 

And I love her, yes I do, I love her 

Kentucky Woman 

She gets to know you 

She gets to hold you 

Kentucky Woman 

Kentucky Woman 

Kentucky Woman 

Kentucky Woman.

B) We Can Work It Out.

(Lennon/McCartney) 

Try to see it my way 

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong 

While you see it your way 

Run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone 

We can work it out 

We can work it out 

Think of what you're saying 

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright 

Think of what I'm saying 

We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight 

We can work it out 

We can work it out 

Life is very short and there's no time 

For fussing and fighting my friend 

I have always thought that it's a crime 

So I will ask you once again 

I'll ask you once again 

Try to see it my way 

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong 

While I see it your way 

There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long 

We can work it out 

We can work it out 

Life is very short and there's no time 

For fussing and fighting my friend 

I have always thought that it's a crime 

So I will ask you once again 

I'll ask you once again 

Try to see it my way 

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong 

While I see it your way 

There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long 

We can work it out 

We can work it out 

At least we can try 

We can try out to work it out someday.

Shield.

(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream

While her children play in the field

Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life

But how strong is the shield?

Can peace be found on the carpet above ground?

Where sky is forever blue

So let it pass baby now

The slow inviting cloud

Which may take me from you

Many things a man can lose, his health, his rights, his views

But never his heart or his love

So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb

To the hill up above

Now you can play a queen on that hill built on a dream

While our children play in the field

I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life

And trust in the strength of the shield

So trust in your love, and you'll see up above

And let life pass like a wheel

Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance

Kiss the strength of the shield

The seeker will be found by the looker underground

And to his wish ye will yield

Fate will have it's word, of course

But time will change it's course

And hold the strength of the shield.

Anthem.

(Evans/Lord)

When the night wind softly blows through my open window 

Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy 

Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow 

Bringing tears to eyes so tired 

Eyes I thought could cry no more 

If the day would only come 

Then you might just appear 

Even though you'd soon be gone 

When I reached out my hand 

If I could see you 

If only I could see you 

To see if you are laughing or crying 

When the night winds softly blow 

In my dark and whispering room 

Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings 

Take my hand and brush my brow 

In the warm and fevered dark 

Heart is madly beating 

My crazy thoughts are burning 

When the night winds softly blow 

If the day would only come 

Then you might just appear 

Even though you'd soon be gone 

When I reached out my hand 

If I could see you 

If only I could see you 

To see if you are laughing or crying 

When the night winds softly blow 

If the day would only come 

Then you might just appear 

Even though you'd soon be gone 

When I reached out my hand 

If I could see you 

If only I could see you 

To see if you are laughing or crying 

When the night winds softly blow.

River Deep, Mountain High.

(Barry/Greenwich/Spector)

When you were a young girl 

Did you have a rag doll 

The only doll you've ever owned 

Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll 

Only now my love has grown 

It gets stronger as the river flows 

Deeper baby, heaven knows 

Higher, as it goes 

Do I love you, my oh my 

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Do I love you, would I cry 

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby 

When you were a young girl 

Did you have a puppy 

That always followed you around 

Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy 

No I'll never never let you down 

Cos it gets stronger as the river flows 

It gets deeper baby, heaven knows 

It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes 

Do I love you, my oh my 

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Do I love you, would I cry 

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby 

I love you baby like a flower loves a spring 

I love you baby like a robin likes to sing 

I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie 

And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high 

Do I love you, my oh my 

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Do I love you, would I cry 

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby.
