Lyrics

[00:53.000] There's a lady who's sure
[00:57.000] All that glitters is gold
[00:59.000] And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
[01:06.000] When she gets there she knows
[01:09.000] If the stores are all closed
[01:12.000] With a word she can get what she came for.
[01:21.000] Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
[01:35.000] There's a sign on the wall
[01:37.000] But she wants to be sure
[01:39.000] 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
[01:46.000] In a tree by the brook
[01:50.000] There's a songbird who sings,
[01:53.000] Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
[02:19.000] Ooh, it makes me wonder,
[02:27.000] Ooh, it makes me wonder.
[02:38.000] There's a feeling I get
[02:41.000] When I look to the west,
[02:44.000] And my spirit is crying for leaving.
[02:50.000] In my thoughts I have seen
[02:53.000] Rings of smoke through the trees,
[02:56.000] And the voices of those who stand looking.
[03:10.000] Ooh, it makes me wonder,
[03:18.000] Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
[03:29.000] And it's whispered that soon
[03:32.000] If we all call the tune
[03:34.000] Then the piper will lead us to reason.
[03:40.000] And a new day will dawn
[03:44.000] For those who stand long,
[03:46.000] And the forests will echo with laughter.
[04:19.000] If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
[04:23.000] Don't be alarmed now,
[04:25.000] It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
[04:30.000] Yes, there are two paths you can go by
[04:34.000] But in the long run,
[04:36.000] There's still time to change the road you're on.
[04:49.000] And it makes me wonder.
[05:06.000] Your head is humming and it won't go
[05:10.000] In case you don't know,
[05:12.000] The piper's calling you to join him,
[05:18.000] Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
[05:21.000] And did you know,
[05:23.000] Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
[06:45.860] And as we wind on down the road
[06:50.210] Our shadows taller than our soul.
[06:54.890] There walks a lady we all know
[06:59.610] Who shines white light and wants to show
[07:04.230] How ev'rything still turns to gold.
[07:08.930] And if you listen very hard
[07:13.680] The tune will come to you at last.
[07:18.170] When all are one and one is all
[07:23.150] To be a rock and not to roll.
[07:47.190] And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
