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 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 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 If there's a bustle in your hedgerow 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 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? As we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines bright light and wants to show And if you listen very hard The truth will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll To be a rock and not to roll
