A touch away

Words & music by Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, Steve Morse and Ian Paice

Mother Nature's been good to me
That's why I'm sitting in this cherry tree
But it's alright, it's alright
It's not so bad, I'm just a touch away

Shady lady from shady lane
Lying in my bed again
And it's alright, feels good
It's not so bad when she's just a touch away

Nothing much is all I ask
And it's alright, oh yes
Light as a feather, o-oh yes

Like a rosebud when the sun is high
She opens up before my eyes
And the light falls on her wet skin
It's alright, I'm just a touch away

Nothing much is all I know
And it's alright, oh yes
Light as a feather and just a touch away

Put a finger to her lips again
She cries with pleasure, cries with pain
And it's alright, feels good
It's not so bad, just a touch away

Nothing much is all I know
Not too fast and not too slow
It's alright, oh yes
Soft as a feather and just a touch away
