In the Evening
(Jones/Page/Plant)

In the evening, When the day is done
I'm looking for a woman, oh, but the girl don't come
So don't let her play you for a fool
She don't show no pity,
baby, she don't make no rules

     (CHORUS)
Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have

So don't you let her,
Oh, get under your skin
It's only bad luck and trouble,
from the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness,
Don't ask nobody's help
Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby,
cause you can only blame yourself

    (Chorus)

Oh it's simple,
all the pain that you go through.
You can turn away from fortune, fortune,
cause that's all that's left to you.
It's lonely at the bottom.
Man, it's dizzy at the top,
but if you're standing in the middle,
ain't no way you're gonna stop.

    (Chorus)

Oh whatever that your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thing
If you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop
When you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot

Chorus



South Bound Saurez
(Jones/Plant)

Baby, when you walk that sweet walk
Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good
Baby, when you talk that sweet talk,
it sounds so good, oh so good.

With a little bit of concentration
and a little bit of helpin' hands, yeah,
and a little bit of raving madness, hey
You know it makes me feel, baby
both my feet are back on the ground.

And when the rhythm takes me,
it feels so good, oh so good.
Baby if it keeps a-shaking,
It'll do you good, oh so much good.

With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin'
And a little bit of ?? right down
Whoo, just a little bit of sweet con-carne
It makes me feel, makes me feel
I got my feet on the ground

Ooh now, baby, when you move it makes me
Really feel so good, oh so good
And I'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad
soo good, oh, so good.
With a little bit of concentration,
just a little bit of helping hand
and a little bit of raving madness
it makes me feel, oh, makes me feel -
back on the ground -
oh yes, it sure does.
It makes me feel back on the ground.

I'm feelin' good child!  I'm feeling good child,
I'm feelin good child, I'm feelin good child!
Down on the ground.
Sha la la la...
Sha la la...repeat




Fool In The Rain
(Jones/Page/Plant)

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining,
like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin,
and the thrill of your touch gives me fright.
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning -
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right.

And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies,
as you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
it ain't the first time believe me, baby,
I fell beneath feeling blue -
Yeah I'm blue.

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner.
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown.
Another ten minutes, no longer,
and then I'm turning around.

The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground,
and the storm that I thought would blow over
clouds the light of the love that I found.

Now my body is starting to quiver,
and the palms of my hands getting wet, oh,
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess.

And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's gotta guess.
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...




Hot Dog
(Page/Plant)

Oh, Hot Dog!

Well I just got into town today
to find my girl who's gone away.
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself, I searched the town.
When I finally did sit down,
I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in the bottom drawer.
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
from in my old blue dungarees,
and I'll never go to Texas anymore

    (CHORUS)
Now my baby's gone, I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl, I know one thing for sure:
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before!

I took her love at seventeen;
a little late these days it seems,
but they said heaven is well worth waiting for.
I took her word, I took it all,
beneath the sign that said "U-haul"
She left angels hangin round for more.

Hot Dog

     (Chorus)

I thought I had it all sewn up;
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck,
but folks said she was after something more.
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin' bands,
but they just rolled my doll right out the door -
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!
They just rolled my doll right out the door!



Carouselambra
(Jones/Page/Plant)

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,
and 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 towards 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 indeed,
but no one seemed to question it 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'
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 key.
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,
and rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed,
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.




All My Love
(Jones/Plant)

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light;
to chase a feather in the wind?
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
there moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim.
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom.
Is this to end or just begin?

(Chorus):
All of my love, all of my love, Oh, all of my love to you, now  All of my love, all of my love, Oh, all of my love to you now

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin

Chorus  (for you now added at end of first line)
             (yes, all of my love to you child at end of 2nd line)

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

Chorus - (Oh, starts first line of chorus here)




I'm Gonna Crawl
(Jones/Page/Plant)

Oh she's my baby, let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy, she's the apple of my eye.
'Cause she is my girl, and she can never do wrong.
If I dream too much at night, somebody please bring me down.

Hey, I love that little lady, I got to be her fool.
Ain't no other like my baby, I can break the golden rule,
cause I get down on my knees,
Oh, I pray that love won't die,
and if I always try to please,
I don't know the reason why, yeah

If she would come back, Only stay with me

Every little bit of my love, etc., I give to you girl

I don't have to go by plane
I ain't gotta go by car
I don't care just where my darling is
People I just don't care how far
I'm gonna crawl
I don't care if I got to go back home
I don't care what I got to stand to her back
I'm gonna crawl
I'm gonna move the car, baby
She give me good lovin
Yes I love her, I guess I love her
I'm gonna crawl.
