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 Woe oh oh oh oh oh 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 the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Woe oh oh oh oh oh Makes me wonder I wonder I really really 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 Woe oh oh oh oh oh 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 with laughter Woe oh oh oh oh oh 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 some time to change the road you're on Oh 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 Oh can you hear the wind blow and did you know Your stairway lies upon the whispering wind Stairway to heaven Stairway to heaven You can't buy it you can't borrow You got to walk it straigt and narrow Stairway to heaven Stairway to heaven Stairway to heaven And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our souls All that glitters is not gold To be a rock and not a roll The great almighty dollar leaves you lonley, lost and hollow You can't fool yourself forever You got to work to get to heaven Stairway to heaven If we listen as hard as To every question that we ask The truth will come to us at last And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.
