天国への階段 (Tengoku e no Kaidan)

[バニラビーンズ「天国への階段」歌詞]

[Verse 1]

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, ooh-ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Ooh, it makes me wonder...

Ooh, makes me wonder...

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Ooh, it makes me wonder...

Ooh, really makes me wonder...

[Verse 4]

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

[Interlude]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah...

[Verse 5]

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 time to change the road you're on

[Chorus]

And it makes me wonder...

Oh, woah...

[Verse 6]

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

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one, and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll

[Outro]

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
