can't stand still
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my feel
Eyes that shine burning red
Dreams of you all through my head

Hey, baby! Oh, baby
Pretty baby, tell me won't you do me now?
Hey, baby! Oh, baby
Pretty baby, won't you do me now?

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean my down and out
Spent my money, took my car
Started telling her friends she's gonna be a star

I don't know but I've been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul

All I ask for when I pray
Steady rolling woman gonna come my way
Need a woman, gonna hold my hand
Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man



Rock and roll

(Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham)

It's been a long time since I rock 'n' rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Yes, it has

It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time



The battle of evermore

(Page/Plant)

The 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 morning 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 below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold
The seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no

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 morning 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

Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back



Stairway to heaven

(Page/Plant)

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

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, 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 stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, 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 souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything 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



Misty mountain hop

(Page/Plant/Jones)

Walking in the park just the other day, baby
What do you, what do you think I saw?

Crowds of people sitting on the grass
With flowers in their hair said:
"Hey, boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is

I really don't know what time it was
So I asked them if I could stay awhile

I didn't notice but it had got very dark
And I was really, really out of my mind

Just then a policeman stepped up to me
And asked us, said:
"Please, hey! Would we care to all get in line?
Get in line"

Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
He said that his friends would all drop by

Why don't you take a good look at yourself
And describe what you see?
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?

There you sit, sitting spare
Like a book on a shelf rusting
Not trying to fight it

You really don't care if they're coming
I know that it's all a state of mind

If you go down in the streets today
Baby, you better, you better open your eyes

Folk down there really don't care
Really don't care, don't care
Really don't care which
Which way the pressure lies

So I've decided what I'm gonna do now

So I'm packing my bags for the misty mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly

I really don't know



Four sticks

(Page/Plant)

Oh, baby, it's crying time
Oh, baby, I got to fly
Got to try to find a way, got to try to get away
'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe

Oh, baby, the river's red
Oh, baby, in my head
There's a funny feeling going on
I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end
Baby, it's just a den for those who hide
Who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe

And when the owls cry in the night
Baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel?



Going to California

(Page/Plant)

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 begin 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"
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Trying 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



When the levee breaks

(Memphis Minnie/Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham)

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
When the levee breaks
I'll have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Got what it takes
To make a mountain man leave his home

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?

If you're going down south
They got no work to do
If you don't know about Chicago

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Now crying won't help you, praying 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
Thinking about my baby
And my happy home

Going, going to Chicago, going to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
Going down, going down now, going down
Going down now, going down, going down
