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
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 our 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 shadow's taller
than our soul
There walks a lady
we all know
who shines white light
and wants to show
how ev'rything
still turns to gold
And if you
listen very hard
the turn 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~
