STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN  (Led Zeppelin)

      There's a lady who's sure
      All that glitters is gold
      And she's buying the 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
      Ooh, and she's buying the 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 your thoughts are misgivings
      Ooh, it makes me wonder (2X)
      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
      Ooh, it makes me wonder (2X)
      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 forests will echo with laughter
      If there's a bustle n your hedgerow
      Don't be alarmed
      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, ooh
      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?
      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
      And all are one and one is all
      To be a rock and not to roll
      And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
