Classic Rock Lyrics

The Wanton Song Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



See you movin' in the night again
Tell me I see too much, baby
Same old thing, I'm on a plane
And the wheel rolls on
Silent moves through the flames
From the deep behind the soul
Guess my nightmares have now begun
Left me barely holdin' on

To strangers I seem a gentleman
When we know the time has come
Lose my sense and lose command
You know even rivers run
Seems like every time I fall
I think this is the one
Oh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day

See all of my faces is changed
Some have a ways to come
Even my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheel rolls on, rolls on


This is about sex. The band developed it during a jam session.
Jimmy Page used his "backward echo" on the guitar solo, where the echo is heard before the note.
This is one of Robert Plant's favorites.
