Tower Song |
| So close yet so far away |
| Of all the things I’d hoped to say |
| Will have to go unsaid today |
| Perhaps until tomorrow |
| Your fears have built a wall between |
| Our lives and all that lovin' means |
| Will have to go unfelt it seems |
| Leavin' only sorrow |
| You built your tower strong and tall |
| Can’t you see that got to fall some day, babe? |
| Close your eyes and speak to me |
| Of faith and love and destiny |
| As distant as eternity |
| From truth and understandin' |
| The wind blows cold outside your door |
| It whispers words I’ve tried before |
| But you don’t hear me anymore |
| Your pride’s just too demandin' |
| You built your tower strong and tall |
| Can’t you see it’s got to fall some day, babe? |
| The end is comin' soon, it’s plain |
| A warm bed just ain’t worth the pain |
| Time to go and you’ll remain |
| With the bitterness we’ve tasted |
| A mother’s breast and a newborn child |
| A poet’s tears and a drunken smile |
| I can’t help thinkin' all the while, babe |
| Their meanin' won’t be wasted |
| You built your tower strong and tall |
| Can’t you see it’s got to fall some day, hey babe? |
