Robert Plant - Lullaby And... The Ceaseless Roar Album Lyrics

Little Maggie

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Rainbow

Ooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh

I found a lucky charm
I dressed it up with love
I crossed the Seven Seas to you
Will it be enough?
And I will be a rainbow
Oh, while your storm is gone
And I will bring the song for you
And I will carry on

Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh

I'm reachin' for the stars
In the sky above
Oh, I will bring their beauty home
The colors of my love
And I will be a rainbow
Now your storm is gone
And I will bring my song to you
And I will carry on

Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh

Love is enough
Though the world be a wind
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining
My hands shall not tremble, my feet shall not falter
The voyage shall not weary, the fish shall not alter
Hmm, It's rainbow, oh it's rainbow
Oh, can't you see the eyes are the eyes of a lover

Pocket full of hearts
A world that's filled with love
A love that carries all before
The passion and the flood
I lie beneath the rainbow

Now your tears have gone
And I will sing my song for you
And I will carry on

Ooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Ooh Oooh Ooh Oooh

Oh yeah, Oh oh oh oh no no baby Ooh oh oh
Oh yeah, Ooh Ooooh Ooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh
Ooh Oooh Oooh

Pocketful Of Golden

And if the sun refused to shine
Upon my island home
And darkness fell upon the earth
And once again walk alone

I have pockets full of golden
A little more with every day
Inside my coat a silver lining
Who knows the price I have to pay

Once I was set up upon by thieves
You know they stole my heart away
I finally found it in your arms
And that's just where it's going to stay

I wondered high upon the mountain
With the naked and the free
And if I bare my soul in asking
One day she'd care for me

Red hair, raven hair gold like the sun
All of us in motion, moving on and gone

And I was cast out on the ocean
Adrift to count the seven seas
So all alone, so high and lonesome
Maybe, one day, she'll care for me

Cause I have pockets full of golden
A little more with every day
Inside my coat a silver lining
Who knows the price I have to pay

Red hair, raven hair gold like the sun
All of us in motion, moving on and gone

Embrace Another Fall

Oh I often think of you
The hour before it rains
Across the broken days
That brought me home again

You walked into my life
Awoke my spirit soul
You saved me from my deep
Farewell my wanderer's home

Oh! The life upon your lips
Your heart could not foresee
The tangle I became
That brings me home again

Embrace another fall
My year is worn and cold
To you I bare my soul
My summer's almost gone

Oh, so blue must turn to grey
And out upon the shire
All through the frost and rain
I make my home

Mi glydwais fod yr 'hedydd
Wedi marw ar y mynydd;
Pe gwyddwn i mai gwir y geiriau
Awn a gyrr o wyr ac arfau
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre

(I heard that the Lark
has died on the mountain;
If I knew these words were true
I would go with a group of men and arms
to fetch teh Lark's body home)

Turn It Up

On Charley Patton highway
The mist, the rain, the mud
Somewhere east of Tunica
I'm close to giving up
The car goes round in circles
The road remains the same
For help and consolation
I'll turn it on again
Turn it up
Turn it up

Alone with disconnection
And not a lonesome word
I reach out to the radio
And the clinically disturbed
"Give it up," the man says
Surrender and be saved
He'll drive away your demons
His help is on the way

Turn it up
Oh turn it up!
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh...

I'm lost inside America
I'm turning inside out
I'm turning into someone else
I heard so much about
I'm blinded by the neon
The righteous and the might

I'm stuck inside the radio
Turn it on and let me out

A touch of serendipity
A little stroke of luck
The radio inside this car
Brings guidance from above
The smallest contribution
Will keep me in safe hands
I'm calling 1-800
I ain't leaving it to chance

Turn it up
Turn it up
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh...

A Stolen Kiss

How long has it been like this
Lost and found and lost yet again
Here in the heat of a stolen kiss
I make my home

How long has it been this way
On and on as the days slip away
Oh lost in language oh lost in song
I'm gone

I am drawn to the western shore
Where the light moves bright upon the tide
To the lullaby and the ceaseless roar
And the songs that never die

Love waits for no one, there's so little time
It's cruel and elusive and so hard to find
And moving further and further each day
I'm gone

I am drawn to the western shore
Where the light moves bright upon the tide
To the lullaby and the ceaseless roar
And the songs that never die

Somebody There

When I was a young boy
And time was passing by
Real slow
And all around was wonder
And all around the great unknown
With eyes that slowly opened
I set about the wisdom to know
And living out of language
Before one word I spoke
I heard the call

There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so

Now high upon the mountain
Where green has turned to golden
Shine on so
Below the world's unfolding
Unravelled and exploding, it was always so
I'm rolling and I'm tumbling
Through all your fields of plenty, here I go
Come walk a mile beside me
Come love me and come guide me
Hear the call

There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so

The road calls to my heart
Your love will warm my blood
The sun will shine down evermore
Wine is in the cup

There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so

House Of Love

Speak to me - tell me a dream
Why don't you let me know
It's only a key - I'm locking it up
I think its got to go

And when I think about it now
We'll build a house of love somehow

Ah, talk to me, back in your grove
You leave me walking the floor
Ah, feels strange to me - I'm losing control
I cant feel you any more
And when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh, my crazy arms are empty now
So call it dying slow
Oh you're looking at me - I can't forget
You touch my very soul
But when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh girl, you really do now
Ah, you hurt me child
You know you really do now
You know things get better, baby
Oh, I was running - just running so hard
But things get much better baby
It's so hard - it's so hard, so hard
Keep a-running, keep a-running, yes
Yes, it gets better, baby
My crazy arms - they're empty now,
So call that dying slow
Oh, remember me - I can't forget
You touch my very soul
And when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
Just a little too much
Yeah, too much
It's just a little too much
It's just a little too much
