Tower of Song

Tower of song I'm a singer at a tower of song Ok now One, two, three, four Alright All of my friends are gone And my hair is grey I ache in the places I used to play I am crazy for love But I'm not coming on I'm paying my rent everyday In the tower of song I said to Leonard Cohen How lonely does it get? Leonard Cohen hasn't answered me yet But I can hear him coughing All night long A million floors above me In the tower of song I'm born like this I had no choice I was born like this With a golden voice Twenty-seven angels From the Great Beyond Well, they tied me to this table Right here In the tower of song You can stick your needles In a voodoo doll I'm sorry baby But it don'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 In the tower of song I've grown bitter, bitter Of this you may be sure The rich, the rich have got channels In the bedrooms of the poor And there's a mighty judgement But it won't be long But I may be wrong You see, you see, you see You hear these funny voices In the tower of song Oh, yeah The guitar The bass The drums So nice Every hour in the tower of song I see you standing on the other side I don't know how the river got so wide But I loved you, baby Way back when All the bridges are burning That we might have crossed But I feel so close to everything that we lost But I'll never have to lose you again Tower of song Tower of song Tower of song I bid you farewell I don't know when I'm 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'm speaking to you sweetly From a window In the tower of song Now you can say that I've grown bitter Of this you can be sure The rich have got channels In the bedrooms of the poor And there's a mighty judgement coming But it won't take long Tower of song Tower of song Tower of song
