Fortuneteller Lyrics

The song Fortuneteller is performed by Deep Purple in the album named Slaves & Masters in the year 1990 .



Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me, yeah

Is that a man without a woman
Whose life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well

Fortuneteller
Got to help me to find end to the nightmare, yeah
'Cause I can't stand this pain and the curse of time

Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
And the mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had

Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see? Is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be?

Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

She was always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave, yeah
I guess I lost more than I found but I remember, oh yeah

Help me to see
Fortuneteller
An end to my misery
Oh, ought to help me, yeah
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Fortuneteller
