Into the Light: The Solo Albums by Whitesnake - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Verse 1]

I was born by the river raised by the sea

Baptised in muddy water to drown the devil in me

I'm going back to the river down to the stream

I'm going to follow that water and find my dream

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Where Saint John be waiting on me

To wash my sins away

Hey Saint Christopher, pray for me

'Cos baby, I'm on my way

 

[Chorus]

Where the rivers flow...

Where the rivers flow...

Just around the bend

I'll find my rainbows end

And maybe then I'll know

Where the rivers flow

 

[Verse 2]

Wait a minute...

You know the gypsy woman told me about a river of gold

Full of dreams for the asking in the valley of souls

So I called to the captain, "Come on and take my hand

I'm gonna follow that water to the promised land"

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Where Saint John be waiting on me

To wash my sins away

Hey Saint Christopher, pray for me

'Cos baby, I'm on my way

 

[Chorus]

Where the rivers flow

Where the rivers flow

Just around the bend

I'll find my rainbows end

And maybe then I'll know

Where the rivers flow

 

[Hook]

Across the bridge of sighs

Oh, go ahead baby

Cry me a river

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Over here, there

Where Saint John be waiting on me

To wash my sins away

Hey Saint Christopher, pray for me

'Cos baby, I'm on my way

 

 

[Chorus]

Where the rivers flow

Where the rivers flow

Just around the bend

I'll find my rainbows end

 

[Chorus]

Where the rivers flow

Where the rivers flow

Just around the bend

I'll find my rainbows end

And maybe then I'll know

Where the rivers flow

 

[Outro]

Where the rivers flow

Where the rivers flow

(Where the rivers flow)

Where the rivers flow

(Where the rivers flow)

Where the rivers flow

[Verse 1]

You know I didn't mean to hurt you, baby

I didn't really mean to cause you pain

So if you want I will cover you with kisses

And I will be your slave again

Need your love and understanding, baby

But you changed the lock on your front door

If you want I will cover you with roses

Wanna be your slave again

 

[Chorus]

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your slave

Slave

 

[Verse 2]

You know I'm gettin' tired of back door loving

You give me all my heart desires

Lord have mercy then I slipped and fell and I broke your heart and I

Wanna be your slave again

 

[Chorus]

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your slave

Slave

I wanna bе your slave

Slave

 

 

[Bridge]

If you want I will cover you with kissеs

Sweet surrender to your touch

If you want, take all I give

I wanna be your slave

Wanna be your slave again

 

[Refrain]

Wanna be your slave, baby

 

[Verse 3]

So here I am waiting to see you, baby

Stacking roses around your front door

I miss your love, I miss your loving touch now, mama

Wanna be your slave again

 

[Chorus]

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your

I wanna be your slave

Slave

I wanna be your slave

Slave

[Verse 1]

I lost my heart in a moment of madness

Took a chance on romance with you

But you roll your dice as cold as ice

Lady Luck's got nothing on you

It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

 

[Verse 2]

You deal your cards under the table

Never giving nothing away

You're the black queen of hearts tearing me apart

Cheating on me night and day

It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

 

[Chorus]

Somebody throw me a life preserver

'Cause I'm going down

With a cry for love

A cry for love

 

[Verse 3]

I'm out of luck and you're no lady

This game of love ain't treating me right

So pour another shot, double what you got

Get me drunk as a skunk tonight

It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

 

 

[Chorus]

Somebody throw me a life presеrver

'Cause I'm going down

With a cry for love

A cry for lovе

 

[Bridge]

I can't run, I can't hide

Always on the losing side

Can't you see me?

Can't you hear?

A cry for love

A cry for love

A cry for love

 

[Chorus]

Somebody throw me a life preserver

Get me off of shaky ground

Call off the dogs that hound me

'Cause I'm going down

With a cry for love

A cry for love

With a cry for love

A cry for love

 

[Outro]

Cry, cry, cry

Cry for love

Cry, cry, cry

Cry for love

Cry, cry

[Verse 1]

I used to be the man for you

Did everything you wanted me to

So tell me, baby

Where did I go wrong?

 

I told you what you wanted to know

Precious secrets never spoken before

All I'm asking

Where did I go wrong?

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Some things are better left unsaid

But all I do is cry instead

Now I've cried me a river

Thinking how it used to be

 

[Chorus]

And there've been too many tears—falling

And there've been too many hearts—breaking in two

 

Remember what we had together?

Believing it would last forever

So tell me, baby

Where did I go wrong?

 

 

[Verse 2]

Everything I had was yours

More than I have ever given before

So won't you tell me?

Did I hurt you so bad?

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I guess I'm fooling myself

'Cause I want you and no one else

And I can't understand

Why you're doing these things to me

 

[Chorus]

And there've been too many tears—falling

And there've been too many hearts—breaking in two

 

Remember what we had together?

Believing it would last forever

So tell me, baby

Where did I go wrong?

Where did I go wrong?

 

[Bridge]

Now my heart is breaking

My whole world is shaking

'Cause I can't understand

Why you're doing these things to me

 

 

[Chorus]

And there've been too many tears—falling

And there've been too many hearts—breaking in two

 

Remember what we had together?

Believing it would last forever

So tell me, baby

Where did I go wrong?

 

[Outro]

Where did I go wrong?

Where did I go wrong?

Where did I go wrong?

[Verse 1]

I've been lied to all my life

It cuts me to the bone but I've survived

Lies and deceptions so hard to see

When I needed you, you turned your back on me

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Where were you when I needed you? (When I needed you)

Everything you asked of me I tried to do

 

[Chorus]

So don't lie to me

Don't lie to me

Do anything you want but don't lie to me

 

[Verse 2]

I was drowning in misery

Behind your painted smile, you laughed at me

But I've got your number, it's clear to see

I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Where were you when I needed you? (When I needed you)

Everything you asked of me I tried to do

 

[Chorus]

So don't lie to me

Don't lie to me

Do anything you want but don't lie to me

Don't lie to me

Don't lie to me

One thing I can't stand is when you lie to me

 

 

[Bridge]

Where were you when I needed you?

Everything you asked of me I tried to do

And all because I trusted you

But you lied to me, you lied

 

[Verse 3]

I've been lied to all my life

It cuts me to the bone but I survived

Nothing ever changes, it's still the same

But one day, you'll get yours in the lying game

 

[Chorus]

So don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

Don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

One thing I can't stand is when you lie to me

Don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

Don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

Do anything you want but don't lie to me

Don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

Don't lie to me (Don't lie to me)

One thing I can't stand is when you lie to me

 

[Outro]

Don't lie to me

2 ContributorsAll the Time in the World LyricsI can be happy daydreaming about you

I feel I know true love for the first time in my life

Sitting here thinking it don't get much better

Such love and affection I never thought I know

 

And I've got all the time in the world for you babe

Ain't nothing but blue skies when I'm with you

[Verse]

You mean the world to me, more than I can say

And when I look at you, it takes my breath away

I look into your eyes and see the love for me

Once again I realize there's nowhere else I'd rather be

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And when my life is over, when my time is through

I'll still be loving you

You're all I want, everything I need

When I look at you, it's easy to believe

No matter what you say (No matter what you say)

No matter what you do (No matter what you do)

Wherever you may go

My heart will follow you

 

[Verse]

I stand beside me, my back's against the wall

You cradle my uncertainty and catch me when I fall

So put your arms around me like a circle around the sun (So put your arms around me like a circle around the sun)

Touch me with your healing hand and show my life has just begun

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And this time over, when my time is through

I'll still be loving you

You're all I want, everything I need

When I look at you, it's easy to believe

No matter what you do (No matter what you do)

Wherever you may go (Wherever you may go)

My heart will follow you (My heart will follow you)

And when my life is over, when my time is through

I'll still be loving you

You're all I want, everything I need

When I look at you, it's easy to believe

No matter what you say (No matter what you say)

No matter what you do (No matter what you do)

Wherever you may go (Wherever you may go)

My heart will follow you (My heart will follow you)

[Verse 1]

I can see by your eyes

Though you try to disguise

You've been cryin’

As the tears fall like rain

All the heartache and pain

Feel love dyin'

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't worry, baby

I’ll make it right

Take you out of the darkness

And into the light

 

[Chorus]

So don't say goodbye

Let's talk it over

Don't say goodbye

Let's talk it over

What happened to

The love we once knew?

Let's talk it over

 

[Verse 2]

How did we end up here

Drownin' in tears

Where love used to be?

I can't hardly believe you’re gonna leave

Baby, talk to me, talk to me

Words left unspoken

And cold in the air

When two hearts are broken

It’s too much to bear

 

 

[Chorus]

So don't say goodbye

Let’s talk it over

Don't say goodbye

Let's talk it over

What happened to

The love we once knew?

Let's talk it over

 

[Bridge]

Two hearts together

Break just like one

Try not to cry

Don’t say goodbye

Let's talk it over

 

[Bridge]

I didn't mean to hurt you, baby, baby

Or cause so much pain

Let's stay together

Let's start again

So don't say goodbye

 

[Verse 3]

You're my angel of light

You shine through my night

Always there for me

After all we've been through

All I'm askin' of you

Baby, talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me, baby

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't worry, baby

I'll make it right

Take you out of the darkness

Into the light

 

[Chorus]

So don't say goodbye

Let's talk it over

Don't say goodbye

Let's talk it over

What happened to

The love we once knew?

Let's talk it over

 

[Outro]

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over

Let's talk it over
