There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying the 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, 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 song-bird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, 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 shadow's taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light And wants to show 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 a roll And she's buying a stairway to heaven
