(Jimmy Page/Robert Plant)
|
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, 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
|
Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder
|
There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
|
And my spirit is crying for leavin'
|
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
|
And the voices of those who stand lookin'
|
Ooh.
|
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
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
|
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 some time to change the road you're on
|
Oh, it makes me wonder
|
Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know,
|
The piper's callin' you to join him
|
Oh, can you hear the wind blow
|
And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind
|
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
|
You can't buy it, you can't borrow
|
You've got to walk it straight and narrow
|
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
|
And as we walk on down the road
|
Our shadows longer than our souls,
|
All that glitters is not gold
|
Wanna be a rock and not a roll
|
Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
|
You can't fool yourself forever
|
You gotta work to get to heaven
|
Stairway to heaven.
|
If we listen and hold fast
|
To every question that we asked
|
The truth will come to us at last
|
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
|
