Blackmore's Night ~ Ariel (live in Berlin 1997)

A stand out song, I think, that was originally written by Ritchie and Candice but used for Rainbow's album 'Stranger in Us All' in 1995. Blackmore's Night have occasionally played it live. This is an early live version.

Lyrics:

I search for her in the dead of night
Just a silhouette lit by candlelight
In a whispered word she'll appear
Now she's gone

A familiar stranger without a name
In a darkened room they all look the same
Like the sands of time she'll slip through your hands
And you'll never understand

Like an angel dressed in the blackest lace
In a broken mirror you'll see her face
A sip of wine and the games can begin
She'll look at you with a familiar smile
"I can make your whole life worthwhile"
And all you see is your fate in her eyes
Then she'll take you in with her lies

Ariel...

Lost in a distant dream
Take me home, Ariel
