“Painted Horse” is a studio outtake from the first recording session for the album Who do we think we are that took place in Rome in July 1972. It didn’t make it on the album because the rest of the band didn’t like the vocals Ian Gillan recorded on it.
The song has a nostalgic and dreamy feeling....
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 bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die?
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old 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
Painted Horse was written by Ian Gillan & Ian Paice & Jon Lord & Ritchie Blackmore & Roger Glover.
Painted Horse was produced by Deep Purple.
