LYRICS #4

[zoso <zeppelin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here it is again my friends.
A bit delayed I'm afraid but exams, projects and
essays have taken their toll this week. I still 
hope you enjoy this little tid-bit as it is a 
song alot of people seem to dislike and  others 
just LOVE (you know who you are).
This is probably one of the hardest to figure out
the lyrics to, and once you "get" a line you feel
proud. Then you surf the net and find another
suggestion that sounds "exactly" right, but so
does your own, and another one. Get the picture?
I had a hard time here, but I've offered a few
other lines at the end of the song to maybe help
you out a bit.
It's a "weird" song at best, with muffled lyrics
and lots of synth. A strange song with a strange
tale to tell. It is ofcourse.......

Carouselambra	10:32
(John P. Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant) 

	Sisters of the way-side biding time in quiet peace
	Await their place within the ring of calm
	Still stand to turn in seconds of release
	Await the call they know may never come
*	In times of lightness, no intruder dwelled 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
	Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

	Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast
	Unending dances shadowed of the day
**  	Within their wall, their daunting formless keep
	Preserved their joy that 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 than (did/deed)
	But no one seemed to question anyway
	Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

***	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 throw the bane and make them stay as planned
*****	And noone there in heaven would ever reach
	I?m singin?
	Aaah, a-aaah, aaah, a-aaah
	O-oo-oh, o-oo-oh ,o-oo-oh
	Oh!
	O-oh
	Oh
	O-oo-oh

	Where was your word, where did you go?
	Where was your helping, where was your bow?  Bow
	Dull is the armour, cold is the da-a-ay
	Hard was the journey, dark was the wa-a-ay. Wa-a-ay

	I heard the word,  I couldn't stay, o-oh
	I couldn't stand it another day
	Another day-a-ay
	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 knowin?
	Rests now within the beat
	Take of the fruit, but guard the seed

	They had to stay!

	Held now within the knowin?
	Rest now within the beat
	Take of the fruit but guard the seed
	Oh, take of the fruit but guard the seed


A small change in format for you. Let me know if you think
it's better this way or the way it used to be.

*	In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
**	Within their wall, there's no need for mystique
***	How can the sorry hurt the lamb that wails upon the land
****	Who called the man that made the sands of land
*****	There's no terrace we cannot reach
  or	No one bearing empathy beyond reach

These are lines offered at some websites. Check out which make
more sense and let me know. A couple of lines in the lyrics
today comes from one of those sites as they made more sense
(in sound, not content) than my own.


Until next week.....

Keep-a-ramblin'
