Four Sticks

About Four Sticks

"Four Sticks" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1971 fourth album. The title reflects drummer John Bonham's performance with two sets of two drumsticks, totaling four. The song was difficult to record, and required more takes than usual. John Paul Jones played a VCS3 synthesizer on the track. The song has an unusual time signature, featuring riffs in a mixture of 5/8 and 6/8. Only one live performance has been identified – in Copenhagen on their 1971 European tour – and preserved on some bootleg recordings.  more »

Oh, Baby, it's cryin' time, 
Oh, Baby, I've got to fly. 
Got to try to find a way, 
Got to try to get away, 
'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, Babe. 

Oh, baby, the river's red, 
Ah, baby, in my head. 
There's a funny feelin' goin' on, 
I don't think I can hold out long. 

And when the owls cry in the night, 
Oh, baby, Baby, when the pines begin to cry, 
Baby, baby, baby, how do ya feel? 
If the river runs dry, baby, how would you feel? 

Craze, baby, mm-the rainbow's end, 
Mmm, baby, it's just a den 
For those who hide, 
Hide their loves to depths of lies 
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe. 

And when the owls cry in the night, 
And baby, when the pines begin to cry, 
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel? 
If the rivers run dry, baby, 
How do you feel? 

Ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ay. 
Ah-ah-ah ... 
Babe, how do you feel? 

Oh yeah, brave ... at dawn, yeah (brave I endure, brave are undone) 
Oh yeah, strong shields and lore. (strong shields of all) 
And they can't hold the wrath of those who walk 
And the boots of those who march 
Baby through the roads of time so long ago.
