Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song br Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey br I ache in the places where I used to play br And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on br I'm just paying my rent every day br Oh in the Tower of Song br br I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? br Hank Williams hasn't answered yet br But I hear him coughing all night long br A hundred floors above me br In the Tower of Song br br I was born like this, I had no choice br I was born with the gift of a golden voice br And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond br They tied me to this table right here br In the Tower of Song br br So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll br I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all br I'm standing by the window where the light is strong br Ah they don't let a woman kill you br Not in the Tower of Song br br Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure br The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor br And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong br You see, you hear these funny voices br In the Tower of Song br br I see you standing on the other side br I don't know how the river got so wide br I loved you baby, way back when br And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed br But I feel so close to everything that we lost br We'll never have to lose it again br br Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back br There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track br But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone br I'll be speaking to you sweetly br From a window in the Tower of Song br br Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey br I ache in the places where I used to play br And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on br I'm just paying my rent every day br Oh in the Tower of Song
