Robert Plant
"Horizontal Departure"


And you said you'd never leave me
And you said you'd be my only one
And I said you'd never glean me, baby
For things you do when you are only having fun
You said you'd cry a river
I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears
You'd rather die than live without me, baby
But little girl, you're so insincere

You know you count your blessings
But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep
And then I try to court your feelings
I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek
All the things must come to fruit now
And there you stood so proud the apple of my eye
You said you'd never leave me, baby
But little girl, that's the reason why
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

Let's go collect our prize now
So entertaining we were number one, number one
The judge is hypnotised now
But after all we both been fooled for so damn long
So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now
'Cause one more time and it will all be done
'Cause I must leave the show to you now baby
My last performance has just begun
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone --

Stop and think for a minute, baby
As they bring the curtain down
Another break, then another maybe
The choice will not be found
I taught you style, the ducking and the weaving
We were famous for
And here's to him, and here's to yours
And you can take the floor, the floor
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

I don't know - so you turned around and found another fool
