Pledge Pin Songtext

von Robert Plant

Watch them go - 'cause one by one they rise to fall
Hearts in tow - it's just a game - she's only having fun
She laughs and turns away
Surprised, she mocks - it's all the same
Tonight's the loss - tomorrow's gain, and in the end it's so

Stand in line as one by one they march in time
In the wings I stand and watch these foolish things go by
Just preparing for the play - aloof she moves
The confidante with practiced step
The merry dance - she executes her role

As the cavalcade begins to thin, do you stop and look around
Free to choose but not to win - you're just too late
Your show is at an end - now you're the victim of your game
Through your fingers watch them slip
Familiar rules just hit and miss for the one who never shows
