Deep Purple - Painted Horse lyrics

Painted Horse - Deep Purple 1973, from CD Powerhouse

Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh,ooh,ah
My painted horse is weeping

Days of another kind
Frost gets a brusing vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh,ooh,ah
My painted horse is weeping

Sweet as rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How could the lion man cry
Ooh,ooh,ah
My painted horse is weeping

Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh,ooh,ah
My painted horse is weeping
