Rock and Roll

It's been a long time since I rock and 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 |

The Battle of Evermore
|
|
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 war is the common cry, pick up your 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 |

Stairway to Heaven
|
|
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying the 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 the 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 stand 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 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 the stairway to heaven |

Misty Mountain Hop
|
|
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 Oh, oh, 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 rustin Ah, 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 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

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 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 |

Going to California
|
|
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 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
|
|
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 Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well 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 go 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 me, 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 |
