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.
