tower of song

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
In the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams
How lonely does it get
Hank Williams hasnt answered me yet
But I hear him coughing

All night long

A hundred floors above me

In the Tower of Song

And 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

All 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 can 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 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
In the Tower of Song

Im just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song

Im just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song
