Kashmir

Version 1994, released on 'No Quarter':
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face,
Stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space,
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race,
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
And all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace,
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate,
The story was quite clear

All I see turns to brown,
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand,
As I scan this wasted land
Trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace,
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place,
Yellow desert stream.
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon,
I will return again.
Sure as the dust that floats high and true,
When movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds,
Fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face,
Along the straits of fear

When I'm on my way,
When I see the way, you stay

Let me take you there.

Nobody's Fault But Mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Tryin' to raise my soul to light
Nobody's fault but mine

Got a Bible in my home
Tryin' to raise my soul to light
Nobody's fault but mine

My sister, she told me to roll
How to roll down to the light
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Tryin' to raise my soul to light
Nobody's fault but mine

I got a monkey on my back
How to raise my soul to light
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
How to raise my soul to light
Nobody's fault but mine

The Truth Explodes

And your city will fall, and your corn won't grow
From the silence from the temple hear the truth explode
It is written in the dust - it is whispered in the wind
From the wisdom of the father, where the word begins

From the kingdom of gold and the stolen chance
You can join the celebration - see the children dance
And the bells will ring, and the crowd will roar
And the sand in the glass is gonna pour no more

And the rivers will freeze, and the hosts descend
Through the fire and the storm, to the bitter end
And the treasures and the gifts, and the words in tune
Will be cast through the heavens like an aura of ruin

Since I've Been Lovin' You

Working from seven to eleven every night,

It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.
I've really been the best, the best of fools,
I did what I could.
'Cause I love you, baby,
How I love you, darling,
I'm in love with you, girl, little girl.
But baby, since I've been lovin' you.
I'm about to lose my worried mind...

Everybody trying to tell me that you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you I really did the best I could.

I've been working from seven to eleven every night,
I said It kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag..
Since I've Been Lovin' You,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying, oh my tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear them falling.

Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more
I open my front door, I hear my back door slam,
You know I must have one of them new fangled,
new fangled back doors man.

I've been working from seven to eleven
every night and It kinda makes my life a drag...
a drag, drag, oh yeah it makes a drag.
Baby, since I've been lovin' You,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.
Just one more, just one more

Oh yeah, since I've been lovin' you,
I'm gonna lose my worried mind...
