There's
a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And
she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When
she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With
a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh,
ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's
a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'cause
you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In
a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes
all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh,
it makes me wonder,
Ooh,
it makes me wonder.
There's
a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And
my spirit is crying for leaving.
In
my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And
the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh,
it makes me wonder,
Ooh,
it really makes me wonder.
And
it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then
the piper will lead us to reason.
And
a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And
the forests will echo with laughter.
If
there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's
just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes,
there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's
still time to change the road you're on.
And
it makes me wonder.
Your
head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The
piper's calling you to join him,
Dear
lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your
stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And
as we wind on down the road
Our
shadows taller than our soul.
There
walks a lady we all know
Who
shines white light and wants to show
How
everything still turns to gold.
And
if you listen very hard
The
tune will come to you at last.
When
all are one and one is all
To
be a rock and not to roll.
And
she's buying a stairway to heaven
