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 

It makes me wonder 
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 

It makes me wonder 
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 [bad word] 
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 everything still turns to gold 
And if you listen very hard 
The [bad word] [bad word] 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...
