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 misgivings

Ooh, and it makes me wonder
Ooh, and 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

Ooh, and it makes me wonder
Ooh, and it 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 will stand up
And the forest will echo
With laughter

Ooh, and it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a sprinkling
For the May Queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still the time
To change the road, the road

Ooh, and it makes me wonder
Ooh, 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 souls
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 truth 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
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
