There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
_And she's buying a stairway to heaven_
And when she gets there
she knows if the stores are closed_
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh _
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 the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings_
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe makes me wonder
Woe 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
Woe makes me wonder
Woe 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 forest will echo with laughter
Woe makes me wonder
Woe makes me wonder

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
Makes me wonder
Woe oh

Your head is humming and
it won't go because you don't know_
The piper's calling you to join him_
Dear lady can't 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 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
