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, ooh, 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 a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
