The Battle of Evermore
Ramble On
All that glitters is gold
And she�s buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she�s buying a stairway to heaven.
There�s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
�cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There�s a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There�s a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it�s whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there�s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don�t be alarmed now,
It�s just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There�s still time to change the road you�re on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won�t go
In case you don�t know,
The piper�s calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev�rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she�s buying a stairway to heaven.
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can�t keep away.
*ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.
I gotta roll, can�t stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can�t get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.
(repeat)
Didn�t take too long �fore I found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin� her friends she wants to be a star.
I don�t know but I been told
A big legged woman ain�t got no soul.
* chorus
All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin� woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.
I�m gonna send you back to schoolin�,
Way down inside honey, you need it,
I�m gonna give you my love,
I�m gonna give you my love.
Wanna whole lotta love?

(various mumblings and screechings with cool effects)
You�ve been coolin�, baby, I�ve been droolin�,
All the good times I�ve been misusin�,
Way, way down inside, I�m gonna give you my love,
