I would do anything I could to be near you
Walk all night in the pouring rain to be at your side
My heart is achin' for love my body's shakin' with desire
Believe me, baby, when I say I will drink you dry
I would do anything to be near you
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night
I hear you callin' my name
But it's a long, long way from home
I'm just tryin' to get my message to you
It's a long, long way from home
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'd been lookin' at love for so long when I found you
Too many years I walked alone
When I touch you inside I feel you burnin' me with fire
Believe me, baby, when I say I will feed the flame
I would do anything to be near you
Walk all night in the pourin' rain
I see your face in the night
I hear you callin' my name
But it's a long, long way from home
I'm just tryin' to get my message to you
It's a long, long way from home
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do, no
I would do anything to be near you
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night
I hear you callin' my name
But it's a long, long way from home
I'm just tryin' to get my message to you
It's a long, long way from home
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
I would do anything I could to be near you
Check in on any night time flight, I don't mind, no
My heart is achin' for love, my body's shakin' with desire
Believe me, baby, when I say I will drink you dry
I would do anything to be near you
Walk all night in the pourin' rain
I see your face in the night
I hear you callin' my name
But it's a long, long way from home
I'm just tryin' to get my message to you
It's a long, long way from home
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's a long, long way from home
I'm just tryin' to get my message to you
It's a long, long way from home
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's a long, long way from home

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
