Way To Mandalay Lyrics

(Blackmore's Night Cover Version)
(Music/Lyrics by Ritchie Blackmore & Candice Night)

I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor, like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo:"Come talk with me a while, just around the corner, just another mile"
I have heard the stories, her legend served her well, a mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale.
A raggle taggle gypsy, with a toothless smile, said:"Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while"

When the road goes on seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
And the road goes on forever I will wander on the way to Mandalay

{SHORT GUITAR INTERLUDE SOLO}

The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days, could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me, caught between what happened and what could never be, yeah
The road goes on seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
when the road goes on forever I will wander on the way to Mandalay

{GUITAR SOLO}

Yeah!

And the road goes on seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
When the road goes on forever I will wander on the way to Mandalay
And the road goes on seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
When the road goes on forever I will wander on the way to Mandalay
{GUITAR SOLO till end}

On the way to Mandalay

Way to Mandalay

You got me running! You got me running! To the way to Mandalay!
Way to Mandalay!
