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, open 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

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 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

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

Misty Mountain Hop

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby What do you, what do you think I saw? Crowds of people sittin' 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, whoa, oh 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, ooh 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, oh, oh I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh 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, ooh I really don't know


Four Sticks

Oh, baby, it's cryin' 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 feelin' goin' 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 Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake The children of the sun begin to awake Watch out 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 Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born Standing on a hill in the mountain of dreams Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems


When The Levee Breaks

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 Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan It's 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 got 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' 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....
