The Spanish Archer - Deep Purple

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, I’m falling

I’m getting out, I’m losing ground

The Spanish Archer’s going to 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

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 going to 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

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
