There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling i get
When i look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts i have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

(king/bethea)

Hear my baby comin' down the track
Betcha my baby's comin' back
Someday she'll get back to me
We're gonna raise a family

We're gonna groove, yeah groove
Yeah we're gonna groove

We're gonna love... until the break of day

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
You don't know whatcha do to me
Let me say you're my one desire
You just set my soul on fire

Oh we're gonna groove,yeah groove
Yeah we're gonna groove
We gonna love... until the break of day

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
Lemme tell ya you don't know whatcha do to me
You just set my soul on fire
Woman you know you're my one desire...

We gonna groove... (repeat)

dancing days are here again, as the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, i got my power,
I got a woman who knows.

Chorus

I said it's alright, you know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin' buzz is precedent, as the evening starts to glow.

Chorus

I told your mamma i'd get you home
But i didn't tell her i had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.

Chorus

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

Chorus

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here (x2)
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear.

Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean (x2)
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me i was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean
You didn't have say you'd always be by my side
Y' didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushin' bride
Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean
But that's alright, i know your sisters, too

You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
But that's alright, i'd be the same way, too

You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me i was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own
You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
That's alright, i know your sister, too.
What's the matter with you, mama

Instrumental

Ah caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.
Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

*as we walk down the country lanes,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling mother nature 'bout you and me.

Well if the sunshines so bright,
Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.
Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?

* chorus

My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.
So of one thing i am sure,
It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around
My dog is so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my nat'ral life with you,
You're the finest dog i knew, so fine.
When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.

(jones/page/plant)

Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, i could work all night, believe i've got the perfect tools

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, i believe i'm gonna crack a head.

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)
I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what i did, before we synchronized

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold
I'm so glad i took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love (x3)

Oh, i can't stop talkin' about love.

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When the levee breaks i'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
Going, go'n' to chicago,
Go'n' to chicago,
Sorry but i can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.

(bonham/jones/page/plant)

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All i want for you to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so i can die easy (x2)

Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' bed.
Meet me, jesus, meet me. meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, lord. please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so i can die easy (x2)

Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody...
Jesus gonna make up... jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed

Oh, saint peter, at the gates of heaven... won't you let me in
I never did no harm. i never did no wrong

Oh, gabriel, let me blow your horn. let me blow your horn
Oh, i never did, did no harm.

I've only been this young once. i never thought i'd do anybody no wrong
No, not once.

Oh, i did somebody some good. somebody some good...
Oh, did somebody some good. i must have did somebody some good...

And i see them in the streets
And i see them in the field
And i hear them shouting under my feet
And i know it's got to be real
Oh, lord, deliver me
All the wrong i've done
You can deliver me, lord
I only wanted to have some fun.

Hear the angels marchin', hear the' marchin', hear them marchin',
Hear them marchin', the' marchin'

Oh my jesus... (repeat)

Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'...

(studio chatter: "that's gonna be the one, isn't it? "
"come have a listen, then. "
Oh yes, thank you.")

(bonham/jones/page/plant)

Wanna tell you about the girl i love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that i been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that i love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one i really love

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said i got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said i got a little woman and she won't be true

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She balled around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause i got a worried mind
Sharin' what i thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(hey hey what can i do)

I said she won't be true

(hey hey, what can i say?)

Hey hey, what can i do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what i say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

*ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.
(repeat)

Didn't take too long 'fore i found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.
I don't know but i been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.

* chorus

All i ask for when i pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

(bonham/jones/page/plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where i have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word i heard could i relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, i been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All i see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as i scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where i've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, i will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin' through kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When i'm on, when i'm on my way, yeah
When i see, when i see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when i'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well i'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. let me take you there

Bright light almost blinding,
Black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing,
Looking for what i knew.
Had a friend, she once told me,
"you got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only
Looking for what i knew.
Mmm, i'm telling you now,
The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now,
It's very easy just.
Met a man on the roadside crying,
Without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you,
Don't let them down, altho' it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do,
Looking for what you knew.
Mmm, i'm telling you now,
The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now,
It's very easy just...ooh, yeah.

(page/plant)

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst i think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

Through the eyes an' i sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought i'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you. i never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,-------dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin' light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.

When i done quit hollerin' baby
I believe i shake 'em on down
Get my babe, won't be late,
You know by that i mean seconds late
Ah, must i holler,
Must i shake 'em on down,
Well i've been mistreated, babe,

From the window of your rented limousine, i saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, painted lady in the city of lies.

Oh, do you know my name? do i look the same
You know i'm the one you want. i must be the one you need, yeah

Clutching pages from your teenage dream in the lobby of the hotel paradise
Through the circus of the l.a. queens. how fast your learn the downhill side

Oh, do you know my name? do i look the same
You know i'm the one you want. i must be the one you need,.

Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, come on, flash it in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,then you giggle as you heave and sigh.

Oh, do you know my name? do i look the same
You know i'm the one you want. i must be the one you need.

Hours, hours, and the moments in between, oh, baby, i couldn't count the times
The fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', baby, dry those silver eyes

Oh, do you know my name? do i look the same
You know i'm the one you want. i must be the one you need,

Ooh, that's right.

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think i see my friends coming,
Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no silver, i couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think i see my brother coming,
Riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, i brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of ev'ry thing
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Yes, i brought you to keep you from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think i see my sister coming,
Riding a many mile, mile, mile.
Sister, i implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower,
Save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him,
Save me from the wrath of this man, man.
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that i'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister,
She warmed my blood from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole,
Your brother brought me silver,
Your sister warmed my soul,
But now i laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole
Keep-a-swingin'!
Swingin' on the gallows pole!

I had a dream, oh, yeah, crazy dream, uh-huh.
Anything i wanted to know, any place i needed to go
Hear my song
Yeah...people don't you listen now? sing along!
Oh, you don't know what you're missing now.
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.
And it has to grow!, push push, yeah!
California sunlight, sweet calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright--the song remains the same. ooh! ooh!
Here we go!, honolulu now...
Sing out hare hare, dance the hoochie koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding
Sliding, sliding through., oh!

Oh!
Workin' from seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It really makes life a drag,
I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools,
I did what i could, yeah
'cause i love you, baby,
How i love you, darling,
How i love you, baby,
How i love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, since i've been loving you, yeah,
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.
Ev'rybody trying to tell me
That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, lord, let me tell you,
Let me tell you i really did the best i could.
I've been working from seven to eleven ev'ry night,
I said it kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, that ain't right, no no!
Since i've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.
Said i've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling.
Said i been cryin, yeah!
Oh my tears they felt like rain.
Don't you hear them falling?
Don't you hear them?
Do you remember, mama, when i knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more, yeah
I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man,
I've been working from seven, seven, seven,
To eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag,
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag.
Baby, since i've been loving you,
I'm about to lose,
I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.
Just one more!
Oh yeah
Since i've been loving you, i'm about to lose my worried mind.

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think i might be sinking.
Throw me a line if i reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

(johnson/page/plant)

Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said, "you might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"

Well i know my baby, if i see her in the dark
I said i know my rider, if i see her in the dark

Now, i goin' to rosedale, take my rider by my side
Still barrelhouse, if it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby, lord, i said, "is really sloppy drunk"
I know my mama, lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum

See my baby, tell her, tell her hurry home
Had no lovin', since my baby been gone
See my baby, tell hurry on home
I ain't had, lord, my right mind, since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises, she's my rider
I wanna tell you, she's my rider
I know you're mine, she's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider

I'm goin' to rosedale, take my rider by side
Anybody argue with me man, i'll keep them satisfied
Well, see my baby, tell her, tell her the shape i'm in
Ain't had no lovin', lord, since you know when

Spoken: why don't you come into my kitchen

She's a kindhearted lady. she studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman. she studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard, i'll fall right out of bed
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg

Spoken: i wonder if you know what i'm talkin' about

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
I swear i'm gonna fall right out of bed

She's a good rider
She's my kindhearted lady
I'm gonna take my rider by my side
I said her front teeth are lined with gold
She's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul
She's my brownskin sugar plum...

Down by the seaside. see the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, what the little fish are sayin'

Oh, oh, the people turned away. oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, to pass the time of day

The people turned away. the people turned away
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run.

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you... some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Out in the country, hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature. and she will come back again the people turned away
The people turned away

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, i am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it, sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite.

A man i know, went down to louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John cameron with suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left & right
Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter, our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.
Whiskers!

Down on bourbon street, you know it's right
You can see my friend, they run around all through the night
Most everywhere, until the closet's bare
Run for the razor, doin' up my hair

New orleans queens, sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When i step out, strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like barry white!

One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it, sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite.

Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face is the same
As it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a diff'rent smile
Like that of one who knows.
Well, it's been ten years and maybe more
Since i first set eyes on you;
The best years of my life gone by,
Here i am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die
By the wicked ways of love;
But i'll just keep on rollin' along
With the grace of the lord above.
People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, i know where their jive is at.
One thing i do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when i try to make love to you!
I try to make love but it ain't no use.
Give it to me, give it!
(guitar solo)
Work so hard i couldn't unwind,
Get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times,
However hard i tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come,
Can't take your evil way;
Go away,
Heartbreaker.
Heartbreaker!

Ooh...know i feel so strange looking out the door
Oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
Oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
Oooh...everyday is the same as the one before

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
To the hand that takes your dreamless soul

Ooh...is it long to wait, is it much to pay?
Oooh...sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.

You know it's hard. i said it's hard
You know it's true. i said it's hard
You know it's hard. you know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Every love that's changed ?-?-?-?-?-?
In the eye of the night ?-?-?-
In the day everything ?-?-?-?
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ??

You know it's true. you know it's true now

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Does it matter now? (repeat)

(jones/plant)

Should i fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
* chorus: all of my love, all of my love, all of my love to you. (repeat)

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin

Chorus

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

Chorus

As i walk down the highway all i do is sing this song,
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
I'm just a simple guy, i live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away,
There's nothing more that i can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

*all i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love,
All i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love.

Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm so glad i'm living and gonna tell the world i am,
I got me a fine woman and she says that i'm her man,
One thing that i know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side,
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing i can do is run.

* chorus

(jones/plant)

Baby, when you walk that sweet walk
Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good
Baby, when you talk that sweet talk
Oh, it sounds so good, oh so good

With a little bit of concentration
And a little bit of helpin' hands, yeah
And a little bit of raving madness
You know it makes me feel, baby
Both my feet are back on the ground

And when the rhythm takes me
It feels so good, oh so good
Baby if it keeps a-shaking
It will do you good, oh so much good

With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin'
And a little bit of ?fly right down?
And a little bit of sweet con-carne
It makes me feel, makes me feel
I got my feet on the ground

Ooh now baby, when you move it makes me
Really feel so good, oh so good
And i'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad
And i'm good, oh, so good
With a little bit of concentration
And a little bit of helping hand
And a little bit of ?saving madness?
You know it makes me feel, baby
I'm back on the ground oh yes, sure does
It makes me feel back on the ground.

I'm feelin' good child!
Down on the ground.
Sha la la la...

I don't know how i'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how i'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.
And when i'm out i see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me,
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.

*that's the way,
Oh, that's the way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the way it ought to stay.

And yesterday i saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so i say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now
Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.

I should have quit you long time ago,
Yeah, long time ago.
Oh yeah, long time ago.
I wouldn't be here, my children,
Down on this killin' floor.
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind x2
Everytime i go away and leave you, darling,
You send me the blues way down the line.
Babe, treat me right, baby, oh my my my
People tellin' me baby can't be satisfied;
They try to worry me baby
But they never hurt you in my eyes.
Said, people worry i can't keep you satisfied.
Let me tell you baby,
You ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.
Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as i can,
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man;
I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago,
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles
Down on this killing floor.
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg, x2
The way you squeeze my lemon,
I..i'm gonna fall right out of bed, yeah.
Hey! (conversation between robert plant & guitar)
Baby baby baby...
I'm gonna leave my children down on this killin floor.

I've been to london, seen seven wonders. i know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes i'd roll it. i always knew what it was for.

There can be no denyin' that the wind 'll shake 'em down
And the flat world's flyin'. there's a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands (x3)

Traversed the planet when heaven sent me. i saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight. i hear the rested rivers call
And the wind is crying, from a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying, on the dark side of the globe

If we could just join hands (x3)

You got me rockin' when i ought to be a-rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolen
Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go... that's right

Oh how i wonder, oh how i worry and i would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder of earthly plunder will it leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin' see the candle burnin' low
Is the new world rising, from the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands.

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until i just can't look no more
How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way.

To sing a song for you, i recall you used to say
"oh baby this one's for we two", which in the end is you anyway

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way.

There was a time that i stood tall, in the eyes of other men
But by my own choice i left you woman, and now i can't get back again

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
When i feel this way...i feel this way

How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
When i give you all my love,
Please, please be true.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I've got to get you together baby,
I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl.
Wanna love some other man too!
I was a young man, i couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it all over, just what i had missed.
Got me a girl and i kissed her and then and then...
Whoops, oh lordy, well i did it again.
Now i got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven.
But i'm in constant heaven.
I know it's all right in my mind
'cause i got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But i'm gonna give her everything i've got to give.
Oh, rosie, oh, girl x2
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away baby, steal away
Little robert anthony wants to come and play.
Why don't you come to me baby?
Steal away, all right, all right...
Well they call me the hunter, that's my name
They call me the hunter, that's how i got my fame
Ain't no need to hide,
Ain't no need to run
'cause i've got you in the sights of my..........gun!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long, all right!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long?
I've got to get to you, baby
Baby, please come home.
Why don't you listen to me babe?
Why don't you please come home? x3
Ooh!

(bonham/jones/page/plant/mrs. valens/stewart)

Been in town, my baby, we just got to rock on
Yeah, darling, we just got to go home
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock.

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, honey
We've been shakin' all night
Oh, darlin', we just got to roll right
Ooh, my head... rock on.

Hey babe, hey babe (repeat)

I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on baby, just rock, rock, rock.

And if i say to you tomorrow,
Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle i will take you,
Where what's to be, they say will be.

*catch the wind, see us spin,
Sail away, leave today,
Way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time. ooh!

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be,
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby,
But what is and what should never be.

* chorus

So if you wake up with the sunrise,
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad,
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah.

* chorus

Hey, oh
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go
And it only goes to show-ow-ow.
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin
We're gonna...sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
My my my my my my yeah
Everybody i know seems to know me well
--but does anybody know i'm gonna move like hell
--but they're never gonna know cause i move like hell.
(pick one...heh)

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.
Messin' around with every guy in town,
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.
Always the same, playin' your game,
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you,
One of these days and it won't be long,
You'll look for me but baby, i'll be gone.
This is all i gotta say to you woman:

*your time is gonna come x4

Made up my mind to break you this time,
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.
Do want you want, i won't take the brunt.
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore.
Don't care what you say 'cause i'm goin' away to stay,
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart.
People talkin' all around,
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart.
You been bad to me woman,
But it's coming back home to you.
* chorus
