There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the 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 the 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 the stairway to
heaven.
