When she's on her way to heaven, she doesn't believe the signs that say she can't get in once she reaches the gates because her life lacks a spiritual base. We interpreted this song in my senior English class, and what I took from it is "the lady who's sure" has based her life on the material things. Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,ĭear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you knowĪnd she's buying a stairway to heaven. There's still time to change the road you're on.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run It's just a spring clean for the May queen. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,Īnd the voices of those who stand looking.Īnd it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,Īnd a new day will dawn for those who stand long, There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. With a word she can get what she came for. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? There's still time to change the road you're on It's just a spring clean for the May queen Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivenĪnd the voices of those who stand lookingĪnd it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings Ooh ooh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven It does not store any personal data.With a word she can get what she came for The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.
