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
And she's buying
a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall
but she wants to be sure
'cos 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
Oh... it
makes me wonder
Oh... and 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
Oh... and it
makes me wonder
Oh... woh woh woh woh
and it makes me wonder
And it's whispered
that soon
if we all called 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
with laughter
Oh... and it
makes me wonder
Oh... woh woh woh
and it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle
in your hedgerow
don't be alarmed now
It's just a sprinkling
from 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
Oh... and it
makes me wonder
Oh... woh woh woh
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
