What Is And What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin

Album: Led Zeppelin II

genre: Hard Rock Psychedelic Rock

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
It’s to a castle I will take you
Where what’s to be, they say will be

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind won’t blow, you really shouldn’t go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time

And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
Then what’s to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be?

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind won’t blow, you really shouldn’t go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time

So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl
The answer lies with you

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind won’t blow, you really shouldn’t go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time

Oh the wind won’t blow and we really shouldn’t go
And it only goes to show
Catch the wind, we’re going to see it spin, we’re going to…sail, leave today
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh. My my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But they’re never going to know that I move like hell
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Oh lord
Baby baby babe. Huh? Oh I love ya
Do no no no no no no. C’mon now
I want you now

Song details

The producer Rick Rubin stated in the Rolling Stones magazine: "The descending riff is amazing: It’s like a bow is being drawn back, and then it releases. The rhythm of the vocals is almost like a rap. It’s insane, one of their most psychedelic songs."
