Cover art for Babe I'm Gonna Leave You lyrics by Led Zeppelin

I believe he is just leaving for the summer. It sounds like he is leaving forever, but he will return when winter comes. It's about a musician's lifestyle where he must leave, eventhough he doesn't always want to. It's a sad song because he loves her, but living on the road comes with it's own lifestyle such as partying and rambling. Towards the end of the song he returns home and he remembers how good it felt to be home. He wants to make plans for the future with her, but once again he will leave. Great song. Very mysterious in a way. Oh and by the way STFU WITH ALL THE LOTR BULLSHIT! IT'S OLD ALREADY!!

sorta like he's conflicted on whether he should leave for good, or come back, but he can't leave her .. but he wants too.. but cant. Basically it's about an on again off again relationship. And yes this song has nothing to do with LOTR.. Like most LZs don't. Sorry but classics like "You Shook Me", "When the Levee Breaks" and Most of the rest have nothing to do with drugs OR LOTRs.. I am pretty sure old bluesmen were so into LOTRs and not problems like their cheating wives, drugs, or them being poor.... No it was def...
