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 long run |
|
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 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 |
