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 stand 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 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.
