Tower Of Song

I don’t want anyone to get alarmed.

I know they’ve probably never seen one of these before.

But it goes by itself.

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 me yet

But I hear him coughing

All night long

A hundred floors above me In the Tower of Song

You’re very kind.

I was born like this I had no choice

I was born with the gift Of a golden voice

And twenty seven angels Drom 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

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

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 this 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 we lost

We’ll never Never have to lose it again

So I bid you farewell I don’t know When I’ll be back

There moving us tomorrow To that tower down the track

But you’ll be hearing From me, darling

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

Don’t stop.

Don’t leave me alone.

Don’t ever stop.

Sing me to bed, sing me through the morning.

Because.

I’m so grateful to you, because, tonight.

It’s become clear to me.

Tonight the great mysteries have unraveled.

And I’ve penetrated to the very core of things.

And I have stumbled on the answer.

And I am not the sort of chap

that would keep this to himself.

Do you want to hear the answer?

Yes!

Are you truly hungry for the answer?

Yes!

Then you’re just the people I want to tell it to.

Because it’s a rare thing to come up on this.

I’m gonna let you in on it now.

The answer to the mysteries.
