*AFTER DARK* From dusk till down
Watching her
Strolling in the night
So white
Wondering why
It's only After Dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light
burns bright
Wondering why
It's only After Dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the Devil's door
In the Dawn
I wake up to find
her gone
And a note says
Only After Dark
Burning burning
in the flame
Now I know her
secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back
and rule again
In my heart
A deep and dark
and lonely part
Wants her and
waits for After Dark
*I SEE DARKNESS* Johnny Cash
Well, you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love, for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive, to live I won't let go
But can you see this opposition, comes rising up sometimes
That is dread full imposition, comes blacking in my mind
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
There's a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness
Well I hope that someday buddy
We'll have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
Oh no, I see your darkness
Oh no, I see your darkness
Oh no, I see your darkness
Oh no, I see your darkness
Did you know how much I love you
There's a hope that somehow you
You'll save me from this darkness
*POOR TOM* Led Zeppelin
Here’s a tale of tom
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel
Poor tom, seventh son, always knew what’s goin on
Ain’t a thing that you can hide from tom
There ain’t nothing that you can hide from tom
Worked for thirty years
Sharing hopes and fears
Dreamin’ of the day
He could turn and say
Poor tom, work’s done, been lazin’ out in the noonday sun
Ain’t a thing that you can hide from tom
His wife was annie mae
With any man a game she’d play
When tom was out of town
She couldn’t keep her dress down
Poor tom, seventh son, always knew what’s goin on
Ain’t a thing that you can hide from tom
And so it was one day
People got to annie mae
Tom stood, a gun in his hand
And stopped her runnin’ around
Poor tom, seventh son, gotta die for what you’ve done
All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?
But what about that grandson on your knee?
Them railroad songs, tom would sing to me
Ain’t nothing that you can hide from tom
Keep-a truckin’
*FRIENDS* Led Zeppelin
Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.
Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
*THAT'S THE WAY* Led Zeppelin
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you, I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying, You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town.
And when I'm out I see you walking, Why don't your eyes see me?
Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me?
That's The Way, Oh, That's The Way it oughtta be, yeah, yeah,
Mama say That's The Way it oughtta stay, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all your ears are turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way... That's the way it oughtta be, oh don't you know now,
Mama said, mama said... that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
*TANGERINE* Led Zeppeline
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.
* chorus
