Led Zeppelin Lyrics

Stairway to Heaven
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Oooh it makes me wonder.
Oooh it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Oooh it makes me wonder.
Oooh it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

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
And theres 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 shadow's 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.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.


Misty Mountain Hop
Walking in the park just the other day baby,
What da ya, what da ya think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said
"Hey boy, do you wanna score?"

And ya know how it is.
I really don't know what time it was,
So I asked 'em if I could stay a while.

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 asked us, said
"Please, hey would we care
To all get in line, get in line."

Well ya know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
He said that his friends would all drop by.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see
And baby, baby, baby, do ya like it?
There you sit, sitting square like a book on a shelf rusting,
Ahhh not trying to fight it.

I really don't know.
You really don't care if they're coming,
I know that it's only a state of mind.

If you go down in the streets today baby, you'd better,
You'd 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.

I really don't.
I really don't know.

I really don't know.
I really don't know.

I really don't.
I really don't.

I really don't know.

I really don't know.
I really don't know.
I really don't know.
I really don't know.


Black Dog
Hey hey mama said the way you move,
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Ah ah child way ya shake that thing,
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey hey baby when you walk that way,
Watch your honey drip, I can't keep away.

I gotta roll I can't stand still,
Got a flaming heart can't get my fill.
With eyes that shine, burning red,
Dreams of you all through my head.

Hey baby, whoa my baby, my pretty baby.
Darling makes them do it now.
Hey baby, oh my baby, my pretty baby.
Move the way you're doing now.

Didn't take too long before I found out
What people mean by down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started telling her friends she gonna be a star.
I don't know but I been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.

All I ask for all I pray,
Steady rolling woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand,
Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Ohhh yeah.

Darlin' makes 'em do it now.


Immigrant Song
Ah ah ahhh ah!.
Ah ah ahhh ah!.
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
"Valhalla I am coming."

On we sweep with, with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah ah ahhh ah.
Ah ah ahhh ah.
And we come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh.
Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh.
Ah hah hah hah hah hah.

Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh.
Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh.
Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh.


Kashmir
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dream.
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been.
To sit with elders of a gentle race,
This world has seldom seen,
With talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revealed.

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear,
But not a word I heard could I relate,
The story was quite clear.

Whoah ohh oh.
Whoah ohh oh oh.

Oooh, oh baby, I've been blind.
No yeah, ah mama, there ain't no denying.
Oh, oooh yes I've been blind.
Mama, ain't no denying, no denying yeah.

Oh! All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eye fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land.
Tryin'a find, tryin'a find
Where I been.

Oh pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream,
Who hid the path that led me to that place
With yellow desert screen.
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon,
I will return again,
Sure as the dust that blows high in June
When moving through Kashmir.

Oh father of the four winds, fill my sails
Cross the sea of years,
With no provision but an open face
To float on the straits of fear.
Whoah oh ah oh.
Whoah oh ah ohh. Ohh. Ohhh.

Whoa, When I'm on,
When I'm on my way, yeah.
When I see,
When I see the way you stay yeah.

Ooh ooh yeah yeah,
Ooh ooh yeah yeah, when I'm down yeah.

Ooh ooh yeah yeah,
Ooh ooh yeah yeah, when I'm down, so down.

Ooh my baby,
Ooh ooh my baby, let me take you there.

Oh oh, Cmon, Cmon oh,
Let me take you there, let me take you there.

Ooh ooh yeah yeah,
Wooh ooh yeah yeah let me take you there.


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,
Mm 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.
A carry me back, carry me back, carry me back,
Mm baby where I come from. Whoah ooh oh whoah ooh ooh hohh.

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Ahhh ahh ahh ahh ahh.

Hohhh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
A making vows that just couldn't work right.
Hahh yeah. Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms,
Mm-baby let my love come running in. Let it.

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Yeah hey.
Yeah ay ay.
Yeah hey.
Yeah hey.

Ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah.
Ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah.

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
