Robert Plant
Stairway to Heaven
[Verse 1]
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
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cos 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
[Chorus]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
[Verse 2]
Therе's a feeling I get
When I look to the wеst
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
[Verse 3]
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
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?
[Bridge]
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 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
[Chorus]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
