Stairway To Heaven

Stairway To Heaven Lyrics

(Jimmy Page/Robert 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

Ooh, 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

Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder

There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leavin'

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand lookin'

Ooh.

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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 some time to change the road you're on

Oh, it makes me wonder

Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know,

The piper's callin' you to join him

Oh, can you hear the wind blow

And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind

Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven

You can't buy it, you can't borrow

You've got to walk it straight and narrow

Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven

And as we walk on down the road

Our shadows longer than our souls,

All that glitters is not gold

Wanna be a rock and not a roll

Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow

You can't fool yourself forever

You gotta work to get to heaven

Stairway to heaven.

If we listen and hold fast

To every question that we asked

The truth will come to us at last

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
