(BlackmoreGillanGlover)

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
