Track #1 on side 2.
I have fond memories of me and my dad on our way to get groceries In his truck. He would play this, Dy'er Mak'er, Ramble On, All My Love, and Fool In The Rain. He would also talk to me about why Robert Plant wrote All My Love, because his son died when he was about my age(7). And he explained to me who Eddie Van Halen was, and that he created 'finger tapping'(I now know that's not really true).
*sigh*
Good Times. . . . .
Oh wait, do you want the lyrics?
Lyrics:
Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
Await their place within the ring of calm;
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
Await the call they know may never come.
In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course, upset the run;
And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty overrun.
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
Unending dances shadowed on the day.
Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
But no one seemed to question in anyway.
How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'
*** But no one there had heaven within their reach.
***Singin"...
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.
Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.
I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.
I couldn't stand it another day, another day,
Another day, another day.
Touched by the timely coming,
Roused from the keeper's sleep,
Release the grip, throw down the keep
Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the peace.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
They had to stay!
Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...
*** Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...
Zep's longest studio song, and one of there best.

@MerkinMuffly Nuh-uh-uh.
Don't forget their epic "In My Time of Dying."
Which is also one of their best ;)
