In The Evening is the opening track from Zeppelin's final studio album, 1979's 'In Through The Out Door'. I have always thought this was possibly their best work and has always seemed to be underrated. This version is based on the original studio recording and the live version from the Knebworth concert in 1979.
lyrics
In the evening,
When the day is done,
Look for my woman,
But the girl don't come.
So don't you let her,
Play you for no fool,
She ain't got no mercy baby,
She don't make no rules.
Oh, I need your love,
I need your love,
Oh, I need your love,
I just gotta have.
So don't you let her,
Get under your skin,
Bad luck and trouble,
From the day that you begin.
I hear you crying in the darkness,
Don't ask for no one's help,
She ain't got no mercy baby,
You can only blame yourself.
Oh, I need your love,
Oh, oh, I need your love,
Ooh, yeah, I need your love,
I've just gotta have.
Ooh, it,s a sinful,
All the pain that you go through,
Turn of fortune, fortune, fortune,
Is all that's left for you.
Oh it,s lonely at the bottom,
Oh man, it's dizzy at the top,
If you're standing in the middle,
No way you're ever gonna stop.
Oh, baby,
Oh, oh, I need your love,
Oh, oh, I need your love,
Oh, oh, I need your love,
I've just got to have.
Ooh, whatever,
Your days may bring,
No hiding in a corner,
'Cause that don't change a thing.
If you're dancing in the darkness,
One day soon it,s got to stop, stop, stop.
When you're the master of the off-chance,
You don't expect a lot.
Oh, I need your love,
Oh, oh, I need your love,
Ooh, yeah, I need your love,
I've just got to have........
