Far Post
Robert Plant · Other Songs - Robert Plant
Some things better left unsaid
Talk of the plans move through my head
Through my head
No talk of tears and pain
It's been so long
I really don't know your name
It's the rules of the game
Wheels keep a turning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
No words assured without a trace like the shadows in the sun
No room for fools who rush, it's all been done
You've got new friend in new pools
And you know they're putting troubles to the vote
Tired eyes slow dance in the sunlight
It's all a joke
Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
With the passing of your time, though you seldom come to mind
I remember the day
Sure as winter follows fall
Sure as maybe I will call just remember the day
Far off the hazy day, long gone the lingering gray
Chill winds blow cold around the fire's glow
Farewell the call to arms, release the captive heart
Time's keeper clouds the skyline on the last resort
Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
With the passing of your time, though you seldom come to mind
I remember the day
Sure as winter follows fall
Sure as maybe I will call just remember the day
Far Post
Far Post stands as a distinctive song in Robert Plant's expansive post-Led Zeppelin discography. Emerging from a period where the legendary vocalist frequently explored eclectic folk and rock textures, the track showcases his signature ability to blend traditional storytelling with modern production. While the song appears in a collection of works that may not be tied to a specific major studio album, it reflects Plant's ongoing commitment to sonic experimentation. The recording captures his mature vocal delivery, moving away from the hard rock foundations of his earlier career toward a more nuanced, atmospheric sound. This piece contributes to a broader catalogue that demonstrates Plant's enduring influence on British rock and his willingness to venture into uncharted musical territory.
