Lyrics Tower of Song

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams

How lonely does it get

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet

But I hear him coughing all night long

Oh 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

I'm very sorry baby

Doesn't look like me at all

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong

Ah they don't let a woman kill you

Not in the Tower of Song

Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure

The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor

And there's a mighty judgment 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 don't 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

We'll never

We'll never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell

I don't know when I'll be back

They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track

But you'll be hearing from me baby long after I'm gone

I'll 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 I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
