<h2>The Spanish Archer</h2>

<font size="2">Words &amp; music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover</font>

<p>
Well there must have been a reason for the smile that you had<br>
Upon your face last night<br>
Are you the cat that got the cream? Did you lick your lips?<br>
Did you roll your eyes?<br>
Can you imagine how it feels? It's so hard to reveal ouh<br>
I can't get through and I'm falling<br>
I'm getting out, I'm losing ground<br>
The Spanish Archer's gonna bring you down woh<br>
<p>
Is there someone somewhere waiting<br>
In the wings to take my place?<br>
Let's not drag it out like a Cagney death scene oh<br>
In this season of change, it's not hard to explain<br>
Like the leaves on the trees I'm falling<br>
And as you turn don't look away<br>
The Spanish Archer's gonna make you pay<br>
<p>
Do you remember when the sky was blue?<br>
We used to talk for miles<br>
And now we drive along in this thundering silence<br>
It's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours<br>
I'm letting go and I'm falling<br>
I'm getting out, losing ground<br>
The Spanish Archer's gonna bring you down ooh<br>
<p>
Well is there something I can say as we stumble to the edge?<br>
Have we gone too far?<br>
Why don't we call it a day before we call it a nightmare darlin'?<br>
If we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free<br>
Is the wave of a hand and you're falling<br>
And as you turn don't look away<br>
The Spanish Archer's gonna make you pay aaaaah<br>
<p>
Look out!<br>
<p>
