Shining in the Light
Jimmy Page & Rober PLant Lyrics

Big boat stealing through the darkness
As a metaphor, the singer is referring to a large vessel moving silently through uncertain times, navigating challenges and obstacles.

Will you bring me to my love
The singer questions whether this journey will ultimately lead them to their beloved.

Will you bring me to my only love
The singer emphasizes the importance and significance of their one true love in this journey.

In the night the light of oneness
During the darkness and uncertainty, there exists a guiding force or clarity that unifies everything.

And the one light guides you home
The guiding light mentioned earlier leads the artist to a place of comfort and belonging.

And the keeper turns his cards alone
The person in control of their destiny contemplates their choices and fate, facing them alone.

From this shore my memory wanders
The singer's reminiscence wanders from their current position, perhaps reflecting upon the past.

And I dance upon the sea
The artist finds liberation in the vastness and unpredictability of life, embracing the challenges.

Can I dance with you upon the sea
The artist yearns for a partner to share this freedom and adventure, seeking a connection and shared experience.

Oh, I love your brown-eyed madness
The artist expresses affection towards someone with intense and passionate qualities, symbolized by their brown eyes.

And your beauty was exposed
The person's inner beauty and true self became visible and known to the singer.

Now your memory's clinging to my clothes
The memories of this person have become deeply ingrained and inseparable from the artist's identity.

Shining in the light
The subject, whether it be love or the person being described, radiates and stands out in the light, possessing a captivating presence.

Ho ho
An expression of excitement, enthusiasm, or celebration.

Oh ho
Another expression of excitement, surprise, or revelation.

Shine, oh oh oh oh
A call or desire for the subject to continue radiating their unique qualities and illuminate the world around them.

Oh oh ho
An expression of joy or delight.

Oh oh ho ho
An intensified expression of joy, surprise, or admiration.
