about

This song has a "2nd side of Led Zeppelin's 3rd album about it.
That was predominantly an acoustic side, and I loved it as a kid;
Acoustic 12string and resonator guitar....and this set of lyrics fit perfectly.
enjoy,
Bill

lyrics

THE LOT OF EVERYMAN
words & music: bill mallonee admin BMI c 2018
The last thought that crossed your mind
before you drifted off
you held it like a diamond
inside a holocaust

Lost within the shadows
always there to lend a hand
that wait on the periphery
the lot of everyman

Let us send for ancient visions
born on angels wings
every dream is sweetly freeze-framed
like flowers by a stream

Filigreed with some regrets
but isn't that the lay of this land?
Just what do you make of it,
the lot of everyman?

There was a fly that interposed
and a flood of dusty doubts
You opened up a keyhole
and there you drifted out
drifted out along the shoreline
where joy kisses the sands
the geography of gladness
the lot of everyman
Lost within the shadows
that seem to stalk this land
what do you make of it,
the lot of everyman?
