Read Me 2
By: Loralei Fairhill


Ohayo, minna-san!! These are my notes and thank 
yous for the 2nd Book of Stairway to Heaven, as 
I (again :P) can't fit them into the body of the 
document. Plus, who really really wants to read 
this anyways? ^^;;


Thank you to:

My pre-readers, Anon, Lelu, Eternal Angel, Psa-chan. 
You guys are so awesome to put up with me all the 
time in my weirdness!! ^_^ Thanks a bundle. I'm so 
glad I have friends like you! 

My friends I met at Brown Uni, this one's dedicated 
to you guys! I started it there, and you encouraged 
me to continue it. I miss you sooooo much, and I 
hope I'll see you again really soon! Love you!

Nienori, my poem buddy, whose continuing support 
and awesome writing keeps me going forward.

To my little sister, yes, you ARE that girl I modeled 
Usagi after in this story!! No one will ever be as 
cute as you are with the two little odangos on your 
head!! :)

Aria, a new found friend, whose works inspire me 
so much! Go read her stuff!! It's kakkoi!

To Shana and April, I hope you're reading this, I'm 
just going to say again how much I love and miss you 
both!! It's not the same writing without you. *sob*

And finally, to all those who have put up with me, 
let me lean on their shoulders throughout the months, 
and loved me even though I'm more of a baka than I 
could ever think to be. :P I love you all!!

Ah, yes. The song. . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@

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.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me 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.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

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.

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.

And it makes me wonder.

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.

And as we wind 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 ev'rything 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.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
