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
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 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.
