Rainbow Rising (1976)
TAROT WOMAN
(Blackmore/Dio)

I don't wanna go
Something tells me no, no, no, no
But traces in the sand
The lines inside my hand Say go, go, go

Beware of a place
A smile of a pride shiny face

I'll never return up to your love
Tarot woman
I don't know
I don't know

She can take you there
The answer's to the fear
Mine, mine, mine

Like a carousel
And cast a magic spell
You can fly, fly

Beware of a place
A smile of a pride shining face

I'll never return up to your love
Tarot woman but I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

Something in the air
Tells me to beware, no, no, no
Her love is like a knife
Should cut away your life
So go, go, go

Beware of a place
A smile of a pride shining face

I'll never return up to your love
Tarot woman, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Hey, I don't know





RUN WITH THE WOLF
(Blackmore/Dio)

In the light of the day
You can hear the old one say
Was the sound last night the wind
Can you feel the change begin

By the fall of the snow
A single soul will go
The footsteps on the white
There's an unholy light

There's a hole in the sky
Something evil's passing by
What's to come - when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf

When the world makes a turn
The eyes of one will learn
That the sound just like the wind
Only makes the change begin

By the end of the rain
The feelings passed again
And things that snapped and bited
Unholy light

There's a hole in the sky
Something evil's passing by
What's to come - when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf

There's a break in the ground
Like the swirling water's angry as they pull you down

When the siren calls you go, yeah
To run with the wolf
Run with the wolf

There's a hole in the sky
Something evil is passing by
What's to come - when the siren calls you go, yeah
To run with the wolf
Run with the wolf

Like a beast in a field
You know his fate is sealed
You run with the wolf, oh oooh

Run with the wolf

See the break, you know it's the same
Now we go
To run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run, run, run
Now we go run, run, run, run
Run with the wolf
All right
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf





STARSTRUCK
(Blackmore/Dio)

If I'm high on the hill
She'd still been looking down at me
What does she see that brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around and see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware!

Creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she soon find me and wait me there
I never knew for a while as smile made me really care

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot, hot - hot, hot, one look
She want a photograph
But everybody laughs but not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know I can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, oh oh o-o-oh
Oh my
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me, yeah
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse a call

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot; one look
She want a photograph
And everybody laughs, hah!
But not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, bad luck
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck

The lady starstruck running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
And back in the tree looking back at me
Climbing up my stair
I've just got to beware
Lady starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck





DO YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
(Blackmore/Dio)

Oh na na na na
Mystery in me is something I can't see
But I see you very well
You slippy, cool, nobody's fool
But there's something inside I can't tell

I know a poor man, a rich man
I know I can talk to a king
But nobody here is gonna tell me
I can't find out one thing

I see your glow around you
Open your arms 'cause
I'm walking to you, come straight or through
Maybe I'm wrong but
I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
when you making love, yeah, yeah
Making sweet love to me, yeah

The logical friend said that
I know in the end
The things that make me smile
To right from the start,
I take the image of your heart
and know it all the while

I know a rich man, a poor man
I know I can talk to a king, yeah
So nobody here is gonna make me believe
I can't find out one thing

I see your glow around you
Open your arms 'cause I'm coming, running, straight or through
I could be wrong but I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
when you making love, yeah

Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes,
I've gotta know
Do you close your eyes
when you making love





STARGAZER
(Blackmore/Dio)

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?
Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?

Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With the whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many die
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go

All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face!

Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed

In heat and rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly

Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look, Look at the tower of stone
I see your rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon oh no, who's rising
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
You, give back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is lead ahead
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh

Take me back
You, give me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is lead ahead
But it's not home
But it's not home
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh





A LIGHT IN THE BLACK
(Blackmore/Dio)

Can't forget his face
What a lonely place
Has he really let us go?

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away?

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now I don't know

Something's called me back
There's a light in the black
and I´m ready to go
I'm coming home

Breathed the air before
Hear the thunder roar
Never knew it was for me
Always looking down
Lost and never found
Eyes that look but not to see

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Like an open door
That you passed before
But you never had a key

Something's called me back
There's a light in the black

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, yeah
I'm going back to my home

I'm going home, home, home
Going home, home, home
I'm coming back

Don't forget his face
What a lonely place
Did he really let us go

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away?

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now, well I don't know

Something's called me back
Like a light in the black
Yes, I'm ready to go
I'm coming home, home, yeah

I've got my way back home
To the sky
There in the sky
I see your star
