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 standing 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
And 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 whisp'rin' 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 ev'rything 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
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

And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
