RayMan is a fucking idiot. The song has nothing to do with weed. Tea is usually a social thing - you drink tea with you spouse in the morning, you meet someone for tea, etc. etc. 'Tea for One' refers to to a guy drinking tea by himself. Alone. It's like going to Starbucks and drinking a cup of coffee by yourself next to the window... who does that?

This song is about a guy reflecting on being away from his girl. It is evident they used to drink tea together. Judging from this line:

[To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say "Oh baby this one's for we two", Which in the end is you anyway]

It seems like his girl didn't really like him that much.

[How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way. ]

In the above line, he is talking about how lonely he is without her. "Hours slipping into days" could refer to the girl promising to get in touch with the guy, but not fulfilling it.

[There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other men But by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't get back again]

To me, it just seems that this guy and girl liked each other. She was probably a babe, because "in the eye's of other men" he "stood tall" which probably means they respected him for having a good looking girl. In the next part, I think it means he tried to play it cool with her to the point where she got bored and left.

Nothing to do with weed. At all. None of Zep's songs have anything to do with drugs, except maybe Houses of the Holy "Are you dizzy when you're stoned?" But that's it.

An error occured.
