There as it was
Then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea

Blind stars of fortune
Each have several rays
On the wings maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
Got so far to go

Changes fill my time
Baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you
And how it used to be

  (Guitar Solo)

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best stuff you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

Ohh

Oh darlin'
Oh, yeah
Oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave ya
I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Holdin' on, everday
I'm never
I nev'
I'm never
I never
I'm never
Oh

No Picture sebastian Professional	#1 by sebastian at Apr 19, 2006 at 5:46 AM EST
	^^^ lol It is beautiful, all the descpritions and meaning have already been written, but I just wanted to add anyway :) except, one thing I've though about this song the more I've listened to it is the middle part, .."do you ever really need..." you you think that part is neccesary? It almost breaks up the song, I think.

No Picture Chris Badass	#2 by Chris Phillips at Oct 22, 2006 at 11:00 AM EST
	Personally, this is my favorite Zeppelin song. I don't know the exact meaning, but that's ok cause its beuty and arteesticness is just awsome. I love the calm laid back but strong riffs of Jimmy Page, which kind of portrays his personallity if u get what i'm saying (The man is a great guitarist but never talks, I've only heard him speak once). The slow deep poetry of Plant is also very impressive. Overall, I believe this is the real Stairway.

No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#3 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at Feb 12, 2007 at 4:35 PM EST
	The lyrics to this song were written about a girlfriend of Plant's who made him pick her or the music. ..I think he made the right decision.

No Picture Philip Average	#4 by Philip Senray at Apr 11, 2007 at 2:39 PM EST
	i think this song is talking about first love and growing up and apart. then they meet again...it definately has something to do with fate. it is so beautiful...i love it.

No Picture Wanna Be	#5 by shade at Aug 25, 2007 at 10:29 AM EST
