<b>PICTURED WITHIN</b> <font size="-2"><i>(lyrics by Jon Lord)</i></font><br>



<br>



here be friends...<br>



here be heroes...<br>



here be sunshine...<br>



here be grey...<br>



here be life...<br>



here love lies bleeding...<br>



memories so hazy...<br>



and dreams that drove me crazy<br>



<br>



here be down...<br>



here be paradise...<br>



here be starbright...<br>



here be pain...<br>



here be smiles in eyes like rainbows...<br>



my father and my mother...<br>



my sisters and my brother -<br>



pictured within<br>



<br>



where there're shadows ill met by moonlight...<br>



there are dragons I have slain...<br>



and here be bright eyes with hair so golden...<br>



sunrise and sunset and running free...<br>



and laughing at the rain<br>



<br>



here be home...<br>



here be travellin'...<br>



here be thunder...<br>



here be blue...<br>



and Sometimes heaven and thoughts of wonder...<br>



the Miracle of children...<br>



a poet and a pilgrim<br>



<br>



kith and kin - pictured within<br>



lose and win - pictured within<br>

<b>EVENING SONG</b> <font size="-2"><i>(lyrics by Sam Brown)</i><BR>



transcribed by Randall Nichols</font><br>



<br>



Here am I<br>



Let me paint for you <br>



A picture<br>



Bluest skies <br>



As the sun burns through<br>



Into evening<br>



Warm and calm<br>



Now the dusk is due and welcome<br>



On my skin, in my bones<br>



I can still feel the sun<br>



Soothing my soul<br>



And leading me gently<br>



Into evening<br>



<br>



Here sit I<br>



In my cozy chair<br>



I'll listen<br>



To the world <br>



As it drifts in through<br>



The open window<br>



Music and memories<br>



Will fall on my ears<br>



Songs I hold dear<br>



And I'm happy here<br>



With myself alone<br>



In the evening<br>



In the evening of my life<br>



Here am I<br>



<br>



Days go by<br>



And still I don't see<br>



The treasures in my life<br>



Now I find <br>



My dreams are here around me<br>



Every thought, every mood<br>



That passes me by<br>



Is so precious to me<br>



In the evening of my life<br>



Evening of my life.<br>

<b>WAIT A WHILE</b> <font size="-2"><i>(lyrics by Sam Brown)</i><BR>



transcribed by Merlijn Rotte</font><br>



<br>



Wait before you go,<br>



So you will know, what I am feeling as you leave<br>



I understand, your need for some time<br>



Some solitude<br>



<br>



Wait a while, before you go<br>



You should know by now, my heart belongs to you<br>



<br>



I know that you must leave<br>



And I can see, that it's not easy for you, no<br>



Buy I'll be here and know that my soul<br>



Is always near you<br>



<br>



Wait a while before you go<br>



You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while<br>



<br>



Shake the vow and the leaves start falling<br>



Spill the wine and our dreams come tumbling down<br>



All around<br>



The sand of time is slipping through my fingers<br>



You and I, still the memories linger on<br>



And on<br>



<br>



Now I know that if I can only let go <br>



And wait a while, you'll be here again with me<br>



The same old friends we've always been<br>



<br>



Wait a while before you go<br>



You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while<br>



Wait a while<br>



Wait a while<br>



For you<br>
