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
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
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 the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Oh, (oh), oh
It makes me wonder (makes him wonder)
Oh, (oh), oh
Makes me wonder (makes him 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

Oh, (oh), oh
It makes me wonder (makes him wonder)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
It makes me wonder (makes him wonder)

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
And shines white light and wants to show
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
