Fortuneteller

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Joe Lynn Turner, Jon Lord and Ian Paice

Cast your eyes into the crystal deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man? I fear it looks a lot like me yeah
Is that a man without a woman, whose empty life is but a shell?
Empty hearts will echo forever in the wishing well

Fortuneteller, you've got to help me to find
An end to the nightmare yeah
'Cos I can't stand this pain and the curse of time yeah
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answers
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my changes
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

Some days come with a vengeange, some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets no I lost the best thing I had

Ouh fortuneteller, mm can you help me to see?
Is there an end to the sorrow?
Or was this slow ride to nowhere yeah always meant to be?
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answers
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my changes
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

She was always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave yeah
I guess I lost more than I found
But I remember ouh yeah
Help me to see, fortuneteller
Put an end to my misery
Ouh got to help me yeah...
