Stairway to Heaven - Robert Anthony Plant

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

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 a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

It makes me wonder
Oooh 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

Oooh it makes me wonder
Really 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

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

And it makes me wonder
Ohhh

Your head is hummin' 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 whisperin' 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...
- A song composed by Robert Anthony Plant
