Stairway to Heaven

Lyrics

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
 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
 ♪
 Oh, oh, makes me wonder
 I wonder
 I really, really 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'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
 ♪
 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 some time to change the road you're on
 ♪
 Oh, 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
 Oh, can you hear the wind blow?
 And did you know your stairway lies upon the whispering wind?
 Stairway to Heaven
 Stairway to Heaven
 ♪
 You can't buy it, you can't borrow
 You've gotta walk it straight and narrow
 ♪
 Stairway to Heaven
 Stairway to Heaven
 (Heaven)
 Stairway to Heaven
 (And as we walk on down the road)
 And as we walk on down the road
 (Our shadows longer than our souls)
 Our shadows longer than our souls
 (All that glitters is not gold)
 Know that all that glitters is not gold
 (Wanna be a rock and not a roll)
 I wanna be a rock and not a roll
 Oh, the great almighty dollar
 Leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
 You can't fool yourself forever
 You gotta work to get to Heaven (Heaven)
 Stairway to Heaven (Heaven)
 If we listen and hold fast (Heaven)
 To every question that we asked
 The truth will come to us at last
 And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
