Classic Rock Lyrics

Tangerine Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.
 
            Tangerine, Tangerine,
            Living reflection from a dream;
            I was her love, she was my queen,
            And now a thousand years between.
 
Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these
To think of us again?
And I do.
 
            Tangerine, Tangerine,
            Living reflection from a dream;
            I was her love, she was my queen,
            And now a thousand years between.

Jimmy Page wrote this and first recorded it when he was with still with The Yardbirds.
This was the last Zeppelin song Jimmy Page wrote without any input from Robert Plant.
About a love affair.
Page played a steel guitar on this.
The second Zeppelin song named after a fruit. "The Lemon Song" was the first.
Led Zeppelin played this during acoustic sets on their early tours.
This was used at the end of the 2000 movie Almost Famous in a scene where a bus drives away.
