I think it's (or one of them, I suppose-- it's the only one I know, at least) called "The Ballad of Evermore". I know that it is from the album typically called "Four" although no identifying features exist anywhere on the album cover. I'm not a big Zeppelin fan normally, but that song is one of my FAVORITES. Somebody did a cover of it on the Singles soundtrack, and I learned to love the song there. Then I learned who did it first, and dusted off my dad's copy of Four on vinyl and practically wore the record out... I REALLY love that song. Stairway to Heaven is OK and all, but the only reason I like it much is because my dad used to play it on the guitar when I was growing up. He didn't know how to play many songs, but he can still play that one now even though he only plays once very few years (when I come home and get the guitar out and get him interested, usually).
