Tower of Song Songtext
von Marshall Chapman

Yeah, testing 1 2

Well my friends are gone, 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 everyday 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

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I was born like this I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
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 standin' by the window where the light is strong
They don′t let your lover kill you, not in the Tower of Song

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh


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 judgement coming but I may be wrong
You see you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song

Yeah

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 every thing that we
lost we′ll never, 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 the tower down the track
But you′ll be hearin' from me baby long after I′m gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well my friends are gone, 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 everyday in the Tower of Song
