Classic Rock Lyrics

The Rover Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to walk it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can't be no denyin'
That the wind is shakin' down
And the flatworm cryin'
And the new plague on the land

*If we could just join hands
 If we could just join hands
 If we could just join (hands)

Converse the planet when heaven send me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rustin' rivers call
And the wind is cryin'
I'm a little bit more grown cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe

(* Repeat)

You got me rockin' when I ought to be alone
Darlin', come on, tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me spinnin'
Won't you tell me darlin', which way to go
That's right

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I always wonder if earthly plunder
Will leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin' from the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands (Repeat)
If we could just, if we could just (Repeat)
Join hands
That's all it takes (Repeat)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Repeat) that's right (Repeat)

This began life as an acoustic piece. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant started writing it in 1970 at Bron-yr-Aur, the cottage in Wales they went to after a brutal US tour. The cottage had no electricity or running water.
Led Zeppelin recorded this at the Houses Of The Holy sessions. They didn't use it on that album, so they remixed it for Physical Graffiti.
The band never played this live.
