Anthem Lyrics by Deep Purple

The Book of Taliesyn

1968

[Verse 1]
When the night wind softly blows
Through my open window
Then I start to remember
The girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows
Sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more

[Pre-Chorus]
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

[Chorus]
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

[Verse 2]
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me
A numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart was madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
When the night winds softly blow

[Pre-Chorus]
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

[Chorus]
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

[Pre-Chorus]
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

[Chorus]
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
