Tower Of Song |
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey |
I ache in the places where I used to play |
And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on |
Im just paying my rent every day |
Oh in the tower of song |
I said to hank williams: how lonely does it get? |
Hank williams hasnt answered yet |
But I hear him coughing all night long |
A hundred floors above me |
In the tower of song |
I was born like this, I had no choice |
I was born with the gift of a golden voice |
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond |
They tied me to this table right here |
In the tower of song |
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll |
Im very sorry, baby, doesnt look like me at all |
Im standing by the window where the light is strong |
Ah they dont let a woman kill you |
Not in the tower of song |
Now you can say that Ive grown bitter but of this you may be sure |
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor |
And theres a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong |
You see, you hear these funny voices |
In the tower of song |
I see you standing on the other side |
I dont know how the river got so wide |
I loved you baby, way back when |
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed |
But I feel so close to everything that we lost |
Well never have to lose it again |
Now I bid you farewell, I dont know when Ill be back |
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track |
But youll be hearing from me baby, long after Im gone |
Ill be speaking to you sweetly |
From a window in the tower of song |
Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey |
I ache in the places where I used to play |
And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on |
Im just paying my rent every day |
Oh in the tower of song |
