There's a lady who's sureAll that glitters is gold Andshe's buying a stairway to heavenWhen she gets there she knowsIf the stores are all closedWith a word she can get whatshe came forand she's buying astairway to heavenThere's a sign on the wallBut she wants to be sure'Cause you know sometimes wordshave two meaningsIn a tree by the brookThere's a song bird who singsSometimes all of our thoughtsare misgiven You knowThere's a feeling I getWhen I look to the westAnd my spirit is crying for leavingIn my thoughts I have seenRings of smoke through the treesAnd the voices of thosewho stand looking That youAnd it's whispered that soonIf we all call the tuneThen the piper will lead us to reasonAnd a new day will dawnFor those who stand longAnd the forests will echo withlaughter remember laughterIf there's a bustle in yourhedgerow don't be alarmed nowIt's just a spring cleanfor the May queenYes there are two paths you can goby But in the long runThere's still time to changethe road you're onYour head is humming and itwon't go In case you don't knowThe piper's calling you to join himDear lady can you hearthe wind blow And did you knowYour stairway lieson the whispering windAnd as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulThere walks a lady we all knowWho shines whitelight and wants to showHow everything still turns to goldAnd if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at lastWhen all are one and one is allTo be a rock and not to rollAnd she's buying astairway to heaven
