The Song Remains the Same Page, Plant I had a dream. Crazy dream. Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along. 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! California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same. Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo. City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... Sliding... sliding through. |

The Rain Song Page, Plant This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time. Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall. |

Over the Hills and Far Away Page, Plant Hey lady--you got the love I need Maybe more than enough. Oh Darling... walk a while with me You've got so much... Many have I loved - Many times been bitten Many times I've gazed along the open road. Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. Many dreams come true and some have silver linings I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold. Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing Many many men can't see the open road. Many is a word that only leaves you guessing Guessing 'bout a thing tou really ought to know, ooh! You really ought to know... |

Dancing Days Page, Plant Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow I got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows. 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' boze is precedent as the evening starts to glow. I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart 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. I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart Dancing days are here again as the summer evening grows You are my flower, you are my power You are my woman who knows. I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart |

No Quarter Jones, Page, Plant Close the door, put out the light. No, they won't be home tonight. The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold. They're wearing 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. Walking 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 howling 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. The pain, the pain without quarter. They ask no quarter. The dogs of doom are howling more! |

The Ocean Bonham, Jones, Page, Plant (Count-In: John Bonham - "We've done four already but now we're steady and then they went: One, two, three, four") Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way. Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start. |
