The Spanish Archer - Deep Purple

Written by：Ian Gillan/Roger Glover/Ritchie Blackmore

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 roll 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

Wooowh

Is there someone somewhere

Waiting in the wings

To take my place

Let's not drag it out

Like a Cagney death scene

Oh

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

Oh

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

Oahhhh

Look it out
