No Place To Go
There's a light up in your window
You can see for miles
I wouldn't have packed my suitcase
If I'd been half as wise
I've been looking for some answers
Got nothing much to show
Let me lie down there beside you
I got no place to go
Been in one too many stories
I guess you've heard them all
Been in one too many shelters
Riding out the storm
Been in one too many houses
Looking for a home
Let me lie down there beside you
I got no place to go
Let's hope it makes sense this time
Maybe we'll make love this time
Let's pray we'll be good this tme
I hope we make love
| RG thoughts: | Another song written during a Deep Purple writing session, this time in Devon, England in January, 2001. DEEP PURPLE songs are not usually written, as such, but evolve from the jamming that goes on when the band get together, so a song like this would probably be out of place on a DEEP PURPLE record. This song came to me as a whole, in about an hour, late one night, after listening to a lot of old blues tunes. Only later did I see its potential for my own album, especially with encouraging words from Jim, my eldest step-son. Songs, to me, are drawn from life and when I wrote this one I didn't realize how much of my life was in it, particularly events pertaining to 2001, of which the World Trade Centre atrocity is but a part. |
