HOUSES OF THE HOLY
THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant
|
I had a dream - Crazy dream. Anything I wanted to know, Any place I needed to go. Hear my song, now! People don'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 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 through. |
THE RAIN SONG
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant
|
It 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 recognise These things are clear to all From time to time. I 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 But I know that I love you so. These are the seasons of emotion And like the wind 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
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant
|
Hey lady you got the love I need Maybe more than enough Oh Darling, walk a while with me Oh, you got so much. Many have I loved And many times been bitten And many times I've gazed Along the open road. Many times I've lied And 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, And many, many men Can't see the open road. Many is a word That only leaves you guessing, Guessing about a thing You really oughta know. |

DANCING DAYS
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant
|
Dancing days are here again 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 you're wearing your clothes. Sipping booze is precedent As the evening starts to glow. You know it's alright, I said it's alright, You know it's all in my heart. You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way it should start? Dig. You told your mama I'd get you home, But you didn't say that I got no car. I saw a lion he was standing alone With a tadpole in a jar. You know it's alright, I said it's alright, I guess it's all in my heart, heart, heart. You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way it should start? So dancin' days are here again As the summer evenin's grow. You are my flower, you are my power, You are my woman who knows. I said it's alright, You know it's alright, You know it's all in my heart. You'll be my only yes, my one and only yes Is that the way it should start? I know it is, yeah. |

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - You don't have to go You don't have to go You don't have to go. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay - All those tears I cry All those tears I cry Baby please don't go.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh You don't have to go, You don't have to go, Baby, babe please, please, please, please. (Whatever happened to Rosie and the Originals?) |
NO QUARTER
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones
|
Close the door, put out the light You know they won't be home tonight. The snow falls hard and don't you know The winds of Thor are blowin' 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, They hold no quarter. Walkin' 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 howlin' 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. They hold no quarter. They ask no quarter. The pain without quarter. The pain, the pain without quarter. They ask no quarter. When I'm calling They ain't giving me no. They give no quarter. |
THE OCEAN
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones / 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, Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door. I got a date, I can't be late for the high I'm headed for. C'mon! Singin' to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar. Play for free, I play for me, I play a whole lot more. Sing about the good things and the sun that lights the day. I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way? I don't know. 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 r ea l fine way to st art. Oh yeah! It sure is fine! I blow my mind! When I feel so good. |
