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.
