Harms Swift Way

Robert Plant · Other Songs - Robert Plant

There is a home out of harm's swift way

I set myself to find

I swore to my love I would bring her there

Then I left my love behind



The desert was long, the mountain high

The road ran steep and winding

The promises so easily made

Unbearable yet binding



Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna count my time?

Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna count my time?



Time will go, it never stays

Memory locked in her passing

Try, oh, try to cling to her

'Til she becomes everlasting



The world's still blue, my word's still true

I feel I'm turning hollow

She does as she pleases if ever she leaves

I'll strangle upon the sorrow



Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?

Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?



The road is past, tomorrow the sky

Between sometimes is blinding

Someday soon when I turn to cloud

I will fly on her wings somehow



Wrapped in the road and filled with above

The ground seems to fade away

Hold to the earth like a new born child

Pray she returns someday



Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?

Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?



Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?

Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?



Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?

Oh, me, oh, my

Who's gonna mark my time?
