Excerpt from Carouselambra by Led Zeppelin
Where was your word, where did you go
Where was your helping, where was your bow, bow
Dulled is the armor, cold is the day
Hard was the journey, dark was the way,
I heard the word, I couldn't stay, I couldn't stand it another day,
Touched by the timely callin', roused from the keeper's sleep
Release the grip, throw down the key
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit but guard the seed
Baby, I couldn't stay
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit but guard the seed
Oh, take of the fruit but guard the seed
