There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she 1 (get) there she knows, if the stores 2 (be) all closed
With a word she can get what she 3 (come) for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she 4 (want) to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words 5 (have) two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts 6 (missgive).
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I 7 (get) when I look to the west,
And my spirit 8 (cry) for leaving.
In my thoughts I 9 (see) rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who 10 (stand) looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper 11 (lead) us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests 12 (echo) with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, 13 (not be) alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you 14 (can) go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it , 15 (go) in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind , 16 (blow) and did you know
Your stairway lies on the 17 (whisper) wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There 18 (walk) a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants 19 (show)
How everything still 20 (turn) 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.
