0:53There's a lady who's sure
0:57All that glitters is gold
0:59And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
1:06When she gets there she knows
1:09If the stores are all closed
1:12With a word she can get what she came for.
1:21Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
1:35There's a sign on the wall
1:37But she wants to be sure
1:39'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
1:46In a tree by the brook
1:50There's a songbird who sings,
1:53Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
2:19Ooh, it makes me wonder,
2:27Ooh, it makes me wonder.
2:38There's a feeling I get
2:41When I look to the west,
2:44And my spirit is crying for leaving.
2:50In my thoughts I have seen
2:53Rings of smoke through the trees,
2:56And the voices of those who stand looking.
3:10Ooh, it makes me wonder,
3:18Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
3:29And it's whispered that soon
3:32If we all call the tune
3:34Then the piper will lead us to reason.
3:40And a new day will dawn
3:44For those who stand long,
3:46And the forests will echo with laughter.
4:19If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
4:23Don't be alarmed now,
4:25It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
4:30Yes, there are two paths you can go by
4:34But in the long run,
4:36There's still time to change the road you're on.
4:49And it makes me wonder.
5:06Your head is humming and it won't go
5:10In case you don't know,
5:12The piper's calling you to join him,
5:18Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
5:21And did you know,
5:23Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
6:45And as we wind on down the road
6:50Our shadows taller than our soul.
6:54There walks a lady we all know
6:59Who shines white light and wants to show
7:04How ev'rything still turns to gold.
7:08And if you listen very hard
7:13The tune will come to you at last.
7:18When all are one and one is all
7:23To be a rock and not to roll.
7:47And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
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, 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. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, 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, it makes me wonder, Ooh, 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 ev'rything 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.
