Do You Close Your Eyes 00:00
Ritchie solos and 'modifies' another Strat 07:16.
A mystery to me is something I can't see
But I see you very well
You're slinky, you're cool, and nobody's fool
But there's something inside I can tell
I know a poor man, a rich man
I can talk to a king, oh
Nobody here can ever tell me
I can't find out one thing
I see a glow around you
Open your arms
'Cause I'm runnin', comin', right on through
Maybe I'm wrong.. it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you're making love?... alright
Sweet love to your lover
Love to me?... yeah
The logical trend is that I'll know in the end
The things that make you smile
Right from the start, I'll take an aim at your heart
And know that all the while
I know a poor man, a rich man
I can talk to a king, oh
Nobody here can tell me
I can't find out one thing
I see a glow all around you
Open your arms
'Cause I wanna see me babe, right on through(?)
I could be wrong but I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes, yeah, yeah
When you're making love?
Good love, sweet love to me?... oh
A mystery to me is something I can't see
But I see you very well
You're slinky, you're cool, and nobody's fool
But there's something inside I can tell
I know a poor man..
A rich man can talk to a king, oh
Nobody here can ever tell me
I can't find out one thing, woah
I see a glow, it's all around you
Open your arms
'Cause I'm rockin, runnin', straight on through
I could be wrong, but I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you're making love?
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you're making love?... oh
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you're making love?
"Do You Close Your Eyes" is the 4th track on the 1976 Rainbow album Rainbow Rising and the encore track on the Live in Munich DVD, seen here.
*As I recall: On the night of this perfomance, Rainbow didn't appear until very late, due to Ritchie having had spent the previous night in a Vienna jail (for an altercation he had with security at a show there), and needed to be bailed out and transported to Munich the same day.
