Robert Plant - When I Was A Child Lyrics






I was reaching for the future
Slowly floating in the blue
When I was a boy
I dreamed a dream of you
I danced upon the tree-top
I drifted with the stream
When I was a child
I held you in my dreams

Once I was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh, I stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When I was a boy
I was walking with a stranger
He left without a trace
When I was a boy
I slept at heaven's gate
Once I was a soldier [etc repeated]
Once I was a soldier [etc repeated]

    I remember buying this album when it first came out! Wish they had one more in them together. Saw them in Boston on this tour. I got the tour shirt with the cover on it. One of the best shows if not the best show I've ever seen.

  27. C.... D....

    WOW. This is a really beautiful song. Can't stop listening to it!

  28. Z.... ....

    Loving the dynamics, Albini really did well mixing this album.

  29. M.... C....

    Amen to that! It just takes you somewhere else.

  30. J.... ....

    Funny as it may sound.... This album got me through one of the worst breakups of my life...

  31. M.... C....

    Me too. Have loved it ever since. Saw them in Atlanta when they toured this album.

  32. z.... ....

    This must be the most underrated album of all time. I love it since I first heard it in 1998.

  33. i.... ....

    The shame of the shallow hearts and souls of critics and self proclaimed classic rock experts who are too high on their own over inflated sense of knowledge is that they looked for Zepplin in this album. It was never intended to be. Zepplin died the morning after John did, Page, Plant and Jones buried it next to John. This is Page and Plant and it is as good as it gets.

  34. l.... ....

    i need to see the lyrics!!!! i love this song

  35. V.... F....

    Very nice bass line!

  36. V.... F....

    Nice song!

  37. M.... R....

    one of the beautiest songs in the world!

  38. M.... R....

    most sensitive and deep song to me!
