Robert PLANT

Slow dancer - no answers
For you new moves to see
Fast talker in dark corners
For you new words to hear
Sly glances - half chances
For you the eye that sees

When the sun slips from the day and the coolness brings relief
There's no torment 'neath the stars in the stillness of the night
When the swirling has to cease behind the safety of the veil

In high places - darkened faces
So indifferent in days to be
Lost races - no losers
Only winners return to see
New order - can't be altered
When the eyes refuse to see

When the sun slips from the day [etc - repeated]

Soft spoken - never could be broken
Waiting the dawn light with me
Slow burning - school of learning
Don't hasten it down on me
Hearts leaping - hopes been reaching
To the heights, to the heights - these signs to see

Oh baby -- in the darkness, in the darkness --

2. Big Log

---

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is a-miles in the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark
And it's you once again
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond - driving me down the road

My love is exceedingly vivid
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide
Should I rest for a while at the side
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back - no
There is no turning back - on the run

My love is in league with the freeway
Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time
My love is in league with the freeway

3. Hurting Kind ( I've Got My Eyes In You )

---

She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool 'cause she's the hurting kind

I lost my heart in the East - another part in the West
You better jump back baby - you're the girl I love the best

I'm gonna ride the wind - there's nothing I won't do
I'm coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you

I see your eyes of love - well tell me what you see
I see your long black hair moving over me

Oh yes, I feel good now, now
Let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Let's talk about love, let's talk about it
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

I lost my heart over here - another part over there
I still got plenty left, and baby I don't care

Oh, let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

Don't blame me - I won't hurt you - don't blame me
It's plain to see you know the real me

She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool - she's the hurting kind

Gonna go around the world - nothing I won't do
Coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you --

4. Heaven Knows

---

A brand new human being, razor sharp, all firm and tanned
All clean, all pure, with a thirty-second attention span
As the clock strikes twelve and we're ready for party games
You play blind man's buff and I'll play out charades

[ Heaven knows ] what kind of fool am I
[ Heaven knows ] why you take an eye for an eye
[ Heaven knows ] what comes over me
You were pumping iron as I was pumping irony

Now I find myself fully occupied and half alive
With your head, heart, arms and legs wrapped around my family pride
See the whites of their eyes then shoot
With all the romance of the Ton Ton Macoute

[ Heaven knows ] what kind of fool am I [etc repeated]

Nothing will show as we're shedding our clothes
But then I suppose, anything goes, anything goes
But then I suppose that anything, anything goes
[ Heaven knows - heaven knows -- ]

[ Heaven knows ] what kind of fool am I
[ Heaven knows ] what comes over me
[ Heaven knows ] what kind of fool am I
Tell me please, please, please
[ Heaven knows ] what kind of fool am I --

5. Moonlight In Samosa

---

Time and again I see you walking down the street
Over and over, just like before
Once in a while you stop and say hello to me
Just like you used to do before
Time and again, it's like we were in love and then
Over and over - nobody keeping score
Once in a while I think you notice when I smile
That love still lingers in my eyes

It can't go wrong, it can't go wrong
It lingers on, it lingers on

Day after day I turn it over in my mind
Dream after dream it's hard to tell you how I find
Out of the blue I'm suddenly so close to you
Despite the years that I've been gone
Will you stop - will you wait a minute - please remember
Can you stop - can you just give me one minute to explain
I will not cause a fuss, I will not rock the boat - believe me darling
Oh what is, what was, it's all the same

6. Tie Dye In Highway ( Hello, Hello )

---

Tie dye on the highway - see the garlands in your hair
If you're going my way, come along
What a beautiful sky - we just had to stop and stare
See the beautiful colours fill the air

(Oh, just the messengers of peace)
Oh, do you remember - across the burning years
Sweet smell of the mystery I recall
Hang me on Miguel - a smile through all my fears
O high Olympus, touch our soul

With the messengers of peace and the company of love
All the passion and release, and love from up above
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

Tie dye on the highway - the wheels still turn around
Dance to the mariachi - take my hand
Hope springs eternal when laughter's feeling sound
Move in the mystic wasted land

With the messenger of peace and the company of love
All the passion and release, and love from up above
( You know that it is true )
From the desert in my art, where the innocent may love
All the passions they release, and the love from up above
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

7. Ship Of Fools

---

On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

8. Calling To You

---

Beyond the river - over the sea
Somewhere's last last farewell that ever will be
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Out in the blue now, just waiting to be
A little breath of selflessness, adrift in all the greed
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Look for the match - cover Adam and Eve
All the world when new was fire - it still was the scene
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

So you're gonna - it's for your honour - it's gonna be done

Where you gonna go? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
Just fadin' away, just fadin' away --

9. Tall Cool One

---

I'm like a strange cat running in the heat of the night
I've got a fire in my eyes, got a date with delight
Some kinda moaning in in the heart of the storm
I'm gonna love you so hard, you'll want your loving done
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you

With my one hand loose I aim to satisfy
You like my loving machine - I like your bloodshot eye
Real gone girl, jumping back with the beat
I'll be your tall cool one with the crazy feet
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --

I'm so tall and you're so cute
Let's play wild like wildcats do
You're gonna rock your tall cool one
I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that

You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please
You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please

[ Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you -- ]

Move over mister - step on back in the crowd
'Cause she's a whole lotta sister 'bout to drive me wild
Lotta places I've been, lotta names, lotta words
No one compares to my real gone girl
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --

I'm so tall and you're so cute [etc repeated]

You stroll, you jump [etc repeated]

[ Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you -- ]

10. Like I've Never Been Gone

---

I'll see you baby, when the ice has broken When the rain stops falling down
I'll be waiting for you, baby when your time has come
And your face no longer frowns
I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I saw the sunlight in your eyes

I wake to find you smiling with the dawn
Just reminders of the time
I feel your breath, I look around but you're gone
I see the place where you were lying
I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I see the sunlight in your eyes

It's been so long, it's been so long, so long, since you've been gone
I look away, I can see that you're gone
I guess I'm standing here alone

Across the sea, I see bluebirds on high
In the wildest places too
Above the ground the wind is calling out to me
Oh, lead me back to you
I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I can still see the sunlight in your eyes, in your eyes

It's been so long [etc - repeated]

Well I'll see you baby, when the ice has broken
When the rain stops falling down
I'll be waiting for you, baby when your time has come
And your face no longer frowns
And I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I saw the sunlight in your eyes, in your eyes
I can see, I can see, I can see that it's true
Just like, just like I've never been gone --

11. Other Arms

---

Lay down your arms - now baby, let me sleep at night
Lay down your arms baby - I'll make everything all right
Words you been using, hurting me so
Some day your gonna regret
Your friends are talking - guess you never know
There's not a lately one yet

Lay down your arms, baby - when the deal is done
Lay down your arms, child - used to be your only one
Weapon you're using is hurting me bad
What do you hope to achieve
I said your fighting is leaving me sad
That's not the way it should be

Find a love - find a way
Find a dream - find a way
You know that I will, yes you know

Lay down your arms - please release me, let me go
Lay down your arms, baby - now surrender to me, don't you know

Find a love - find a way
Find a dream - find a way
You know that I, you know that I
You know I will, but you know

Oh, she's gone, she's gone
I'm not a prisoner - I'm the big beret
I'm not a prisoner - I'm the big beret
I'm not a prisoner - I'm the big beret
No I'm not
Oh, oh my baby's gone
Lay down your arms
I don't know where I'm gonna find her
'Cause my baby's gone
Lay down your arms
Is she here, is she there, is she here, yes I know
Oh, I gotta find her
Oh, is she here, is she there, I really wanna know
I wanna find my babe.
Lay down your arms,
Mmm, your arms child,
Oh, just lay down your arms.

12. 29 Palms

---

A fool in love - a crazy situation
Her velvet glove knocks me down and down and down
Her kiss of fire - a loaded invitation
Inside her smile she takes me down and down and down

Her moves look good - a touch of desparation
From where I stood she turned my head around, round and round

It comes kinda hard when I hear your voice on the radio
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you
29 Palms - I feel the heat of your desert heart
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you

13. Why

---

Oh - the sandman is running
Oh - he ain't telling you why
But she knows, yeah she knows
Oh - the thunder is roaring
Oh - hear his wings in the sky
And he knows
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know why
Oh why

Oh-oh - she wants it bad - oh-oh
Oh-oh - she wants it bad - oh-oh
When you're lost and found a brand new friend
Here comes another happy end

Mm - now the fat man is falling
Oh - see that tear in your eye
'Cause you know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know why
Oh why

Oh-oh - she wants it bad [etc repeated]

Oh - now the new day is dawning
Oh - till their pasts mystify
And you know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know why
Oh why, why, why --

14. Colours Of A Shade

---

The day was old - the light was dim, as I stepped through the door
And all my friends were gathering that day that I recall
I shivered and shook, Lord I stood just waiting to chase the fall
I wondered how my time would be when spring comes round once more

I face the wind - I have no choice, but you must guard the heart
And cast adrift from those I love, alone I drag my heart
Against the cry of "why?" I turn my back to go
But out beyond the tears somewhere, someone I need to know

It's only love, in the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade

Old photographs were fading dim - my seed will tell it all
And by the fathers' fathers' hands such pain on all was raw
They read the signs without surprise of how they knew it well
And in the mirror still I see the man, who came from hell

It's only love and the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade
