song list next song Robert Plant: Letter B Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Calling To You
(Plant/Blackwell)
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 --

Oh, city don't cry
Oh, city don't cry
Is all your virgin truth turned to lies
Are all your dreams of freedom monolith
Is all you peace and justice so much myth, oh
Ohhhh, city don't cry

Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na,
na na, na na, na na, na

Oh, city don't weep
Oh, city don't weep
For even brother Satan has to sleep
And all your tragic idols rest in peace
And beautiful believers, their quiet council keep
So, oh, city don't weep

Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na,
na na, na na, na na, na na

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Oh, city don't moan
Oh, city don't moan
Inside your gates I make my wanderers home
And from your desert arms my fears have flown
Against your walls my demons, they all turn to stone, oh-oh-oh
Oh, city don't moan

Ohh
Ohhhhh
Ohh

Oh, city don't cry
Yeah-oh, city don't cry again
Is all your virgin truth turned to lies
Are all your dreams of freedom monolith, oh
Is all you peace and justice so much myth, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, city don't cry, yeah

Ahhh, fly away

Oh, now, city don't weep
Yeah-eah-eah-eah, city don't weep
For even brother Satan has to sleep, oh
And all your tragic idols, well they all rest in peace
And beautiful believers, their quiet council keep
Oh oh oh ohhhh, city don't weep, ahhhh, yeah-eah

Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na,
Na naaaaaaaa
Ohhhh

Said oh, city don't moan
Oh, now city don't moan
Inside your gates I make my wanderers home
And from your desert arms all my fears have flown
Against your walls my demons turn to stone
Said oh, city don't moan

Yeah, city don't moan
Yeah, city don't moan
Don't moan
Don't moan
song list next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Colours Of A Shade
(Plant/Johnstone/Blackwell/Allcock)
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
song list Robert Plant: Letter D previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Come Into My Life
(Plant/Blackwell/Boyle/MacMichael)
Hopes drift in higher places - it's easier above the gloom
Among the hollow faces, I know you're there - it must be soon
And I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I'd lost so long ago

Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom
Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom

Always a love and beauty - a lover's sighs content too soon
Somewhere behind her heartbeat a breath of kindness hints of gloom
So I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I'd lost so long ago

Come into my life [etc repeated]

Oh when you get there - you know I wanna be there
When you get there - well, you know I wanna be there
I wanna be there - I wanna be there

Come into my life [etc repeated]

Hopes drift in higher places - it's easier above the ground you know
Hopes are drifting - hearts been lifting
Somebody somewhere no, done you wrong - I don't know
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby
