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
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
Whoah...
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 forest will echo the laughter.
Ooh
If there's a bustle in your hedge row
don't be alarmed now,
it's just a spring clean
for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by by,
but in the long run,
there's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder
Ooh
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?
Oh
And as we wind on down the road,
our shadows taller than our souls,
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 a roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
