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
Oh___ oh____ 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 her thoughts are misgiven
Oh___ it makes me wonder
Oh___ 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
Oh___ it makes me wonder
Oh___ 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 the new day will dawn for those who stand long,
and the forest will echo with laughter
If theres a bristle in your hedgerow dont 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
Your head is humming and it wont go in case you dont know,
the pipers 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 the lady we all know - Who shines white light and wants to know
how everything still turns to gold - And if you listen very hard
the time 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
