Lyrics (put together by AeternusAmatorius): 0:00-0:12 Spent my days with a woman unkind; smoked my stuff and drank all my wine Made up my mind to make a new start; going to California with an aching in my heart Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair. Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhh Hahhhh ahhhh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhTook my chances on a big jet plane; never let 'em tell you that they're all the same The sea was red and the sky was grey I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake as the children of the sun began to wake Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; I think I might be sinking. Ahhhhh Throw me a line if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high. High. To find a queen without a king; they say she plays guitar and cries when sings Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, tryin' to tell myself it's not as hard as it seems. Ahhh Ahhhh ahhhh ahhh Ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhh Laaaa 3:13-3:24

New Cover!
Seems the cover played at the mini-tour was part of Amy's covers. Sounds beautiful, love the guitar work, here's the description for it on FACEBOOK:
"This song is a classic that I've loved for as long as I can remember. It puts me at peace. My friend and manager, Jordan, had recorded the instrumentation for fun and when I heard it a few months ago I knew instantly that I had to sing on it. Listening to mommy sing usually helps get Jack into that elusive sleepy place, and this song has been a regular rotation nap-time hit around our house this fall. As I was preparing for the November Evanescence shows, I just really wanted a moment like this in our set. So I showed this version to Troy, who made it a personal challenge to master a finger-picking based song, which was outside his comfort zone (not that you could tell- he sounded amazing!). We had so much fun playing it live! It's a pleasure to sing a song publicly that is such a part of who I am offstage - my roots, the style of music that we always played around my house when I was growing up, and still at every big family gathering, singing and playing music with my dad. Hope you enjoy it!"

Holy shit - this is absolutely magnificent. Easily my favourite so far. Her voice is absolutely spectacular on this. That high note gave me the biggest chill down my spine. Great, great job.

This is pretty awesome. I'd rank this as second favorite out of the three she's released so far. *Lyrics to soon come!

Simple, but really beautiful. I hadn't listened to the live version yet, so this was totally new for me. Gotta listen to Troy play it now!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. That high note ...
I just want an album of these covers. Hoping they're released for download at some point, I don't do this spotify nonsense.

^Yeah I don't do Spotify either. Fingers crossed for a digital album! But this is really pretty! I guess I didn't expect something guitar-led amid Amy's cover spurt - what a nice surprise! Plus this is the first time one of my favorite artists released something new on my birthday.

Plus this is the first time one of my favorite artists released something new on my birthday. It's a good birthday soundtrack. Happy birthday! I'm glad I don't have to listen to people talking and screaming during the song anymore. Although the live performance was pretty good, studio is even better.

I almost peed myself when I heard this live. Zep is one of my ultimate faves, so Ev covering them was complete ecstacy. I'm glad there's a studio version! ❤️❤️❤️
Here ya go:
Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart. Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair. Took my chances on a big jet plane, Never let them tell you that they're all the same. The sea was red and the sky was grey, Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today. The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the Gods Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; I think I might be sinking. Throw me a line if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king, They say she plays guitar and cries and sings Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
