There's a lady who's sure all
that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And when she gets there she knows
if the stores are all close
With a word she can get what she came for

Oh
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 misgiving

Oh it makes me wonder
Oh 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 it makes me wonder
Oh 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

Woe 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 time to change
the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Oh

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 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, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

Oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
