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 ooh ooh ooh ooh 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 toughts

are misgiving

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

wooa wooa wooa wooa wooah woohoo

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

ooh oh 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 ooh oh

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 yeah

to be a rock and not to roll

and she's buying the stairway to heaven
