Robert Plant · Other Songs - Robert Plant
I can't go on, without you it's useless to try
Oh to love you, was so good
To keep you would be so wonderful
Here is my heart That I give, it's all that I have
Please change your mind Before my sunshine is gone
Do you think you could try
Do you think you could try Do you think you could try
Oh, understand how I feel Until I can prove that it's real
Fill my world with rain
You know your tears, would only bring rain
My heart, oh, eight-oh-five
I guess your leaving, good-bye.

The song features Plant's signature vocal delivery, characterized by its raw power and emotional depth, set against a backdrop of subtle instrumentation that highlights his songwriting maturity. Released in the early 1980s, the recording reflects the post-Zeppelin era where Plant sought to explore new sonic territories while maintaining the rock roots that defined his career. It remains a notable example of his work during this transitional phase, capturing a moment of personal reflection and artistic independence.
