Whitesnake

Songwriter: David Coverdale

Producer: Martin Birch

I was dreamin' of the past
Why do good times never last?
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day
I was hungry, feelin' low
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end
The road is long without a friend
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
Just a young man looking homeward
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shinin'
But will it ever, will it ever be the same?
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun
But like a blindman, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where it's coming from
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun
But like a blindman, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where it's coming from

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.
