The Wanton Song

Led Zeppelin · Definitive Collection Of Mini - Lp Replicas [2008]

Silent woman in the night, you came, Took my seed from my shaking frame.

Same old fire, another flame, And the wheel rolls on.



Silent woman through the flames, you come, From the deep behind the sun

Seems my nightmares, have just begun

Left me barely holding on.



With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand.

When we know the time has come

Lose my senses, lose command

Feel your healing rivers run



Is it every time I fall, That I think this is the one

In the darkness can you hear me call

Another day has just begun.



Silent woman, my face is changed

Some know in ways to come.

Feel my fire needs a brand new flame

And the wheels rolls on.... rolls on.
