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, 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 Oh-oh, makes me wonder Oh-oh, makes me 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, yeah Oh-oh, it makes me wonder Ooh, yeah 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 Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Really really think before you do Oh, it makes me wonder Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know Your heart's callin' you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind Ooh, yeah, yeah 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 To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
