Deep Purple - Cascades: I'm Not Your Lover Lyrics






You know I'm not
your lover now
it might as well be said
and then you say
you're leaving
Or maybe I'm just
hanging on a thread
When I gave you everything
it didn't seem that much
You gave me your opinion
with the usual
heavy handed touch

What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
I'm not your lover now
I'm not your lover now

What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
I'm not your lover now
I'm not your lover now

My head is spinning endlessly
My sense won't react
Then I'm falling through a black hole
Part of me is never coming back

How you can lose a thing
you never really had

And you always hurt the one you love
and you just love to hurt me bad

What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
I'm not your lover now
I'm not your lover now

What can I do
About the sky that falls on you
I'm not your lover

You really must be going now
By god, is that the time?
Let me put you out
of my misery
They call it being cruel
to be kind
I only insult my friends
my friend
The rest can go to hell
You can read it
anyway you want
oh well, you're not so bad yourself

What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
I'm not your lover now
I'm not your lover now

    Astonishing Guitar solo on an astonishing album...

    I swear I’ve listened to 2:15 to 3:15 20 times now

  7. d.... c....

    This rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. D.... M....

    Great straight forward rock song.

  9. D.... M....

    4:06! So purply awesome! This should be included on any all time greatest list of driving pure rock songs. Purpendicular is best rock album of the 90s.

    D.... M....

    Even better than Purple's "The Battle Rages On" (1993), the last one with Blackmore?? Could be, but I find them at least on an even par, maybe even giving The Battle the slight edge.

  10. y.... m....

    underrated album

  11. A.... S....

    Love this album!!!

    Losing Jon Lord was a really awful tragedy. So many of my heroes are no longer with us, but I'm sure Lord affected a lot of people. I wish all surviving members of every Purple lineup could be immortal, but I know how much that is just a wish. When Gillan dies I'll shut myself in a room and cry for three hours. I love Purple. Even more than Sabbath, but I love them a lot too. Always good to hear music that's like a new friend or old friend coming at you making you feel like you should treasure life. I love you Deep Purple!

    +Benjamin Blake Mitchner Jon Lord was my most favorite musician of all time. I've followed Deep Purple since 1968. When he retired from DP, I figured it was just inevitable given his age. But I never imagined a day when he would no longer be among us mortals. Really sad.

    @R. Gold
    it's heartbreaking and terrible. Jon Lord was the best keyboard player of the hard rock genre and he could write classical music. I regret never having met him. I also feel atrocious about losing David Bowie. I can't stomach anymore losses like we've had!

    @Benjamin Blake Mitchner - Yes, Lord was one of the giants, with Rick Wakeman and maybe Keith Emerson being the only other giants whom I would accept being ranked ahead of him.

    B.... B....

    Truth be told, Lord did not grow since 1970. He played same stuff over and over, but it payed well. I prefer Airey on new albums. Lord would butcher it

    Bom álbum!!Gosto!!!
