Anthem Lyrics

The song Anthem is performed by Deep Purple in the album named Shades 1968-1998 in the year 1998 .



When the night wind softly blows
Through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl
That brought me joy

Now the night wind softly blows
Sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes, I thought could cry no more

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me
A numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow

In the warm and fevered dark
Heart was madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
