It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time, yes it has

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

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

THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE
The Queen of Light took her bow

And then she turned to go The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom

And walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night

Sing to the morning light

The dark Lord rides in force tonight

And time will tell us all, hoh

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe

Rest not to lock your homes

Side by side we wait the night

Of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses' thunder

Down in the valley below I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon

Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold

The seas of happiness

The ground is rich from tender care

Repay, do not forget, no, no

Oh, dance in the dark of night

sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black

The tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry

Pick up you swords and fly

The sky is filled with good and bad

That mortals never know

Oh, well, the night is long

The beads of time pass slow

Tired eyes on the sunrise

Waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed

The woe of aftermath

The drums will shake the castle wall

The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on

Sing as you raise your bow

Shoot straighter than before

No comfort has the fire at night

That lights the face so cold
Oh, dance in the dark of night

Sing to the mornin' light

The magic runes are writ in gold

To bring the balance back

Bring it back

At last the sun is shining

The clouds of blue roll by

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes

Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it

Bring it, bring it

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

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh,
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

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's 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

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, 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

Ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh hoh

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

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Ahhh, hoh-hoh

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 shadows taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How ev'rything 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, yeah-ee-yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP
Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby

What do you, what do you think I saw

Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said

“Hey, boy, do you wanna score?”

And you know how it is

I really don't know what time it was, whoa oh hoh

So I asked them if I could stay awhile

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 and asked us said

“Please, hey, would we care to all get in line

Get in line“

Well you know

They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun, hoh hoh oh

He said that his friends would all drop by, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see

And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?

There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'

Ah, I'm not trying to fight it

You really don't care if they're coming, hoh hoh oh

I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh ooh ooh ooh

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better

You better open your eyes, whoa-oo-oh yeah

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

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I really don't know

I really don't know

FOUR STICKS
Oh, baby, it's cryin' time

Oh, baby, I've got to fly

Got to try to find a way

Got to try to get away

'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe

Oh, baby, the river's red

Ah, baby, in my head

There's a funny feelin' goin' on

I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls fly in the night

Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby

How would you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end

Mmm, baby, it's just a den

For those who hide

Who hide their love to depths of life

And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe

And when the owls fly in the night

Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Oh, baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby

How do you feel?

Ahhh ahhh

Ahhh

And how do you feel?

Ooh yeah, brave I endure

Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore

They can't hold the wrath of those who walk

An' the boots of those who march

Baby, through the roads of time so long ago

GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Spend my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind, make a new start

Going to California with an aching in my heart

Someone told me there's a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane

Never let 'em tell you that they're all all the same

Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey

I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

As the children of the sun began to awake, watch out

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow

I think I might be sinking

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams

Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mmm huh-uh

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago.

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Ah-oh.

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Oh, oh.

Goin'
I'm goin' to Chicago
Goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down.

Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down
