Way to Mandalay (Ritchie Blackmore's cover, Bonus Track)
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 had 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..."
And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...
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...
