[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
In a word she can get what she came for

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cos she knows sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivings

[Verse 2]
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 souls
There is 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
And all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

[Outro]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
