Oh baby.
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining,
Like a star that can't wait for night.
I hate to think I been blinded baby.
Why can't I see you tonight?
An' the warmth of your smile starts a burning
An' the thrill of your touch give me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning.
Why don't you show up and make it alright-yeah?
It's alright-right.
And if you promised you'd love so completely
An' you said you would always be true,
You swore that you never would leave me baby,
Whatever happened to you?
An' you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey.
It ain't the first time believe me baby,
I'm standing here feeling blue, blue ha!.
Yes I'm blue.
Oh babe.
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner,
I watch the people go shuffling downtown.
Another ten minutes no longer
An' then I'm turning around 'round.
An' the clock on the wall's moving slower,
Oh my heart it sinks to the ground
An' the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found.
Light of the love that I found.
Light of the love that I found.
Oh that I found.
Hey babe.
Oh hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over.
Oh tired of the light,
I just don't seem to find.
Have you wait, yeah played.
Whoa oh I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you, you
I gotta get it all, gotta get it all, gotta get it all,
I've got to get all.
Ooh now my body is starting to quiver
An' the palms of my hands getting wet oh.
I got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess.
An' I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless,
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey!
An' the thoughts of a fool's gotta count,
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block oh-yeah.
Hey now. Oh oh oh.
Light of the love that I found.

My last trip to Recycle Records in Bend Oregon (now sadly gone) I found a brand new in wrapper ITTOD vinyl, with pristine water color sleeve. Score!

turns out some folks like to call themselves wise and are indeed fools in the rain…
Sure, this was not like their early, trippier stuff, but it still sounded pretty good when it came out, cranked on my AudioVox 8-Track with Jensens in the rear deck of my '70 Cutlass 'S' Hardtop Coupe -- especially while tokin' a J, tossin' a Frizz and chuggin' beers in the park the rest of that summer and fall... I miss hearing "Carouselambra;" it was the hardest rocking song on this album, and where they spent 10 minutes absolutely JAMMING in exquisitely edgy, wildly unpredictable style...

Yeah the drumming here is unreal. Knowing drumming like this is possible makes it hard for me to listen to any song with just a rhythm track: it's like cooking with no spice at all - not even salt. On the other hand this song really lights up my rhythm taste buds.

The award we have all been waiting for, best use of an athletic whistle in a contemporary rock song. Led Zeppelin!

Bill, thank you for your observation on the 8yo girl doing a more than credible John Bonham cover of Good Times Bad Times. I have studied it in depth with my rhythm section partner. The triplets alone with the kick pedal she can barely reach are worthy of awe from such a young girl. If her joy in nailing it doesn't make you smile call 911.

That whistle before the bridge is perfect for the tempo/calypso chantge. And noted that Guns and Roses totally ripped off the effect for Paradise City, and that is ok, because it works.

You didn't know which cover you had until you opened the album.
(Just to frustrate collectors, it seemed that most stores only had one type.)
I think the pictures were all the same room and same central figure, just shots from different parts of the room.
Not sure the CD followed that.
I used to enjoy the big covers of records.
There were 6 different covers, and the images are taken from the perspective of each of the people on the periphery of the room.
Cool page showing the different covers.

To me it always sounded like they were already on a path to breakup with this last album, it already sounds a lot like subsequent plant solo albums and a lot less like previous zeppelin albums.
My take is that they were facing the 80's and trying to adapt. Not many bands pulled it off

This is a great album!
This was John Bonham's last, wasn't it?
I recall buying the record in 1979 because it was LZ, not being enthused after playing it, then the drummer died, and that was it.
I appreciate it far more now.
Mighty Led Zeppelin, baby.

What a tie in! Robert Plant has an incredible version of "One More Cup of Coffee" on his 2002 album Dreamland. He also covered Season of the Witch with his band Priory of Brion in the late 90's.

The beauty of ear buds is you can really focus on specific instruments. Bonham is brilliant and usually I’m partial to Moon’s messy musings
One of Zeppelins best. Very one is on point.

I'd personally rate this quite possibly the most over-rated rock band in history. And I was there to witness it. Live and in laser beamed color.
Couple of epic good albums, then a long line of crapola. By the end of the third one, I was weary of Plant's noise.
Couldn't even see the light and originally skipped out on "Street corner girl" as being unworthy of making it onto the album ! ?
I rest my case.
I'd personally rate you as having what therapists call an unhealthy obsession with the band Led Zeppelin. Breathe deep. Relax. They're not coming for you.

This song takes me back so vividly to 1979? and Wintergreen Ski Resort in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was a no-frills little place kind of overlooking the Wisconsin River. They would blast this song while you rode up the chair lift. Happy memory.
Shoulda texted her.

It amuses me that people have such strong opinion about this song. It's fun: a guy pissed because his date is standing him up, great guitar rift, guy realizes all his musing on bad faith is because he screwed up. A fantastic slice of life with the realization that your conclusion is WRONG.
This must be from their Lost Cheesy Lounge Lizard Period.
Always loved hearing songs that shook your expectations and stereotypes for a band, and this one shattered the ones I had in regards to Led Zeppelin. Personally still absolutely love it, especially the uptempo bridge with the latin percussion added in.

Fool (not in the rain) such as I thought that I must flush the paper cover with the tap water. So I had a wet LP cover for a while. Vinyl is in a quite good condition still. Played it again some month ago.

My colleague just told me this was Led Zeppelin as it came on and I didn't believe him.
Wow. Not my favourite of theirs, but a nice little tune.

Interesting read, the comments here. I am going to judge this one by its impact in a live concert. It would bring down the house, methinks. The drumming and rhythm change-ups alone do it for me.

How an English rock and roll band managed to incorporate classic Spanish/calypso into a great rock song without diluting anything out is remarkable. Lyrics, melody, rhythm, all of it just hums with a perfect energy. Can't help but dance a little inside.

I don't see why CD's can't be supplied in the big fanfold jobs we used to relish. Photos, lyrics and so on. A major part of the experience for me, now sadly missing.

Not my fave Zep song and a little too overplayed. Really never dug the tropical/Latin break, either.
Just love this, really takes me back. Their next album was to be a return to heavy hitting rawk. Sigh ... if only it had happened...

much bile in the comments, but the song stays well above a 7 on the total ratings. Seen some less "hated" tunes with lower ratings.
edit: (as seen in the song following this tonight Gorillaz — Demon Days which only gets a 6.5 or so. I rate both at a solid 8)

Anyone who hears that guitar solo and then proceeds to rate this less than a 9 is living in a world I don't understand.

Being tired of hearing Led Zeppelin after all these years does not disqualify someone from being "cut out for this whole Rock and Roll thing". I believe there are more choices than just Led Zeppelin and Lawrence Welk - at least there are in my universe. This song's pretty good - even today.

You can find Lawrence Welk down the hall, stay to the right (it's the door with the EXIT sign above it and the Amboy Dukes album covers full of bullet holes nailed to it ) Why of course you have a right to your own opinion, but not your own facts...He was stating opinions, not asserting that any of them were facts. Being tired of hearing Led Zeppelin after all these years does not disqualify someone from being "cut out for this whole Rock and Roll thing". I believe there are more choices than just Led Zeppelin and Lawrence Welk - at least there are in my universe. This song's pretty good - even today.
Drumming tour de force!
I dig it - it shows their range as a band...
Shows that Zep could handle just about anything they tried. Also shows their blues band heart. The bossa nova spin-off is incredible.

Ouch. Not a lot of love for this one on the comments page.
I disagree. It would have been interesting to see where Zep went had Bonzo lived.

Come on the drumming on this is fantastic
The one Zep album not in my collection, nor shall it ever be.

For sure, I think the Zep was one of the best bands of all time (and Presence is probably underappreciated), but this song.... ucch....

Love this song, and this album. So much better overall than the prior album Presence. This was showing a whole new direction for the band and it was fresh and different. They could not record the same old rock or they would have been typecasted, and this whole album shows the LZ sound direction for the 1980s, and it was far better than anything out there. LZ evolves, and they are better for it. Then Bonzo had to go and die and ruin everything.
I'm always up for the mighty Zep.

I didn't like this one when it was new... and it hasn't improved over the years.

I have never heard this claim before today. Every Zep fan I ever knew associates this album with the anticipated tour, and then with grief and mourning. Seemed like days between the deaths of John Bonham, John Lennon, and Bob Marley.
I know true Zep heads have always dissed this album

Exactly right.
I know true Zep heads have always dissed this album, but I love it just as much as the rest of their stuff and Bonzo cannot be denied!!!
Exactly right.

I know I am in the minority, but I love this song and this album and I don't think it was Zepps worst album at all.

You know that feeling when you watch your Dad dance? That's this that is...
Bill, thank you for your observation on the 8yo girl doing a more than credible John Bonham cover of Good Times Bad Times. I have studied it in depth with my rhythm section partner. The triplets alone with the kick pedal she can barely reach are worthy of awe from such a young girl. If her joy in nailing it doesn't make you smile call 911.
