Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin

Album: Physical Graffiti

genre: Hard Rock

Then, as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind skies of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it’s got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that’s alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need ’em bad?
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had?
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good?
Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Through the eyes and I sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I’d see your face the way it used to be
Oh darling, oh darling

I’m never going to leave you
I’m never going to leave
Holding on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone

Physical Graffiti Danzig album lyrics
Robert Plant explained the song in an interview: "Let me tell you a little story behind the song 'Ten Years Gone' on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, 'Right. It's me or your fans.' Not that I had fans, but I said, 'I can't stop, I've got to keep going.' She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sports car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you."
