Lyrics for Song: Stairway to Heaven
Lyrics for Album: The Acoustic Collection: 1999-2002 [Sugar Hill] [2006]
(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'.
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.
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
