Stairway To Heaven
(
© Led Zeppelin
)
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~ooh
Ooh~ooh~ooh~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.
Oooh it makes me
wonder.
Oooh it makes me wonder.
There's a feelin' 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.
Oooh it makes me
wonder.
Oooh 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.
Oh~ooh whoah~ooh whoah~ooh whoah~ooh
Whoah~hooh~oh~ohh.
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
An' there's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me
wonder.
Ahhh~ah-oh~hoh.
Your head is hummin'
and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's callin' 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 shadow's taller than our soul.
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-yeah
To be a rock and not to roll.
And
she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Going To California
(
© Led Zeppelin
)
Spend my
days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff an' drank all my wine.
Made up my mind, make a new start,
Goin'a California with an achin' 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 'em tell ya that they all are the same.
Hohh the sea was red and the sky was grey,
I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains an' the canyons
Start to tremble an' shake,
The children of the sun begin to awake.
Watch out.
It seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose
And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'.
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'a find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams,
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
Mmm-ahh~ahh. Ahh~ah~ahh-ah~ahh.

No
Quarter
(

Close the door,
put out the light
Y' know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowin' cold.
They're wearin' steel that's bright and true,
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter,
They hold no quarter.
Ahh-ah~ahh~ah~ahh-hahhh-hahhh.
Walkin' side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howlin' more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter.
They hold no quarter.
They ask no quarter.
The pain without quarter.
The pain, the pain without quarter.
They ask no quarter.

The Ocean
(

)
We've done
four already
But now we're steady
And then they went:
One, two, three, four.
Singin' in
the sunshine,
Laughin' in the rain,
Hittin' on the moonshine,
Rockin' in the grain,
Got no time to pack my bag,
Ry foot's outside the door.
I got a date, I can't be late
For the high I'm headed for.
C'mon!
Ah-hah! Ah-oh yeah!
Singin' to an ocean,
I can hear the oceans' roar.
Ooh~ooh. Play for free, I play for me,
I play a whole lot more, more.
Ooh~ooh. Sing about the good things
And the sun that lights the day.
Ooh~ooh. I used to sing on the mountains,
Has the ocean lost it's way?
I don't know.
Ah-ah yeah!
Ooh yeah. La la la-la-la la....
Sittin' 'round singin' songs
Until the night turns into day.
Ooh~ooh. Used to sing on the mountains
But the mountains washed away.
Ooh~ooh. Now I'm singin' all my songs
To the girl who won my heart,
Ooh~ooh. She is only three years old
And it's a real fine way to start.
Oh yeah! It sure is fine!
I blow my mind! When I feel so good yeah.
A-yeah~yeah~yeah.
Do-wop do-do-be-do-be
Do-wop do-do-be-do-be
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah, yeah!
Do-wop do-do-be-do-be
Do-wop do-do-be-do-be Oooh Do-wop.....
Oh
it's so good!

The Rover
(

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
An' the flag we're flyin'
Is the new flag of the land.
If we could
just join hands. If we could just join hands.
If we could just join.
With fields
of plenty when heaven sent me,
I saw the kings who rule them all.
Still by the firelight in purple moonlight,
I hear the 'rested rivers call.
And the wind
is cryin'
Of a love that won't grow cold.
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe.
If we could just join hands.If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.
Yeah-ah.
Yeah-ah. Yeah-ah. Yeah-ah.
Yeah-ah. Yeah-ah. Yeah-ah.
Do it! Hah! You got me rockin'
When I oughta be a-rollin' darlin',
Tell me darlin', which way to go.
You keep me rockin' baby,
Then you keep me strollin'
Won't ya 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
How all this squander of earthly plunder
Will leave us anythin' to show.
And our time
is flyin',
See the candle burnin' low.
Is the new world risin'
From the shambles of the old?
If we could just join hands. If we could just join hands.
If we could just, if we could just, if we could just,
If we could just, if we could just join hands, hands!
That's all it takes, that's all it takes.
That's all it takes, that's all it takes.
Eah-ah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah.
Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah.
Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah. Yeah~yeah.
Yeah~yeah. Ooh-yeah. Ah! Ah!
Yeah.
That's right.
That's right. That's right. That's right.

Kashmir
(

)
Oh, let the
sun beat down upon my face
With 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 a gentle race,
This world has seldom seen,
With talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revealed.
Talk an'
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.
Whoah~ohh~oh.
Whoah~ohh~oh~oh.
Oooh, oh
baby, I've been blind.
No-yeah, ah mama, there ain't no denyin'.
Oh, oooh yes I've been blind.
Mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin' yeah.
Oh! All I
see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eye fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land.
Tryin'a find,
Tryin'a find where I been.
Oh pilot of
the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream,
Who hid the path that led me to that place
With yellow desert screen.
My
Shangri-La beneath the summer moon,
I will return again,
Sure as the dust that blows high in June
When movin' through Kashmir.
Oh father of
the four winds, fill my sails
'Cross the sea of years,
With no provision but an open face
To float on the straits of fear.
Whoah~oh-ah-oh.
Whoah~oh~ah~ohh.
Ohh. Ohhh.
Whoa! When I'm on,
When I'm on my way, yeah!
When I see, when I see the way you stay~yeah.
Ooh~ooh yeah~yeah,
Ooh~ooh yeah~yeah, when I'm down yeah.
Ooh~ooh yeah~yeah,
Ooh~ooh yeah~yeah, when I'm down, so down.
Ooh my baby,
Ooh~ooh my baby, let me take you there.
Oh oh! C'mon, c'mon oh,
Let me take you there, let me take you there.
Ooh~ooh yeah~yeah,
Wooh~ooh yeah~yeah, let me take you there.

Baby Come On Home
(

)
There was a time, I used to call you on my very own
We were so happy woman, Talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone
Then one day,
I set you up to walk right outta my life
Leavin' me all by myself, All alone, to cry every night
(Babe...) oooh, I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)
(oooh yeah) Sweet little girl (ooh yeah, been gone so long)
been away so long
Now listen to me: I said I made up my mind
Woman when you left me there, oh
I was gonna find another sweet lover
Who's gonna feel all of my... cares
So I met a sweet little girl, Just about as nice as she could be, oh
I fell in love with that woman, But she turned around, and did the same
thing again to me...
(Babe...) Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...
I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long
(Babe...) I want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)
So I made up my mind, I gonna crawl right back to you woman
I'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah, 'Till you're here by my side
I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good times
Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine
Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)
(You've been gone too long)

When The Levee Breaks
(
© Led Zeppelin
)
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.
