Led Zeppelin - The Ocean

The Ocean Lyric


We've done four already but now we're steady
and then they went One, two, three, four

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I use to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way. I don't know

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na

Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Blow my mind
When the tears are going down

Yeah Yeah

Oh so good

Song Note : "This is one of the few Zeppelin songs where all 4 members shared the writing credit"

"The lyrics about 'The Hellhound' refer to Blues musician Robert Johnson, who according to legend, sold his soul to the devil. On the lyrics sheet that came with the album, the word 'hellhound' was replaced with 'high hopes hailla'. "
