Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]
Well my friends are gone[00:00:09]
And my hair is grey[00:00:11]
I ache in the places[00:00:14]
Where I used to play[00:00:16]
And I'm crazy for love[00:00:18]
But I'm not coming on[00:00:22]
I'm just paying my rent every day[00:00:28]
Oh in the Tower of Song[00:00:32]
I said to Hank Williams[00:00:38]
How lonely does it get [00:00:41]
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet[00:00:44]
But I hear him coughing all night long[00:00:47]
A hundred floors above me[00:00:57]
In the Tower of Song[00:01:01]
I was born like this [00:01:28]
I had no choice[00:01:31]
I was born with the gift[00:01:33]
Of a golden voice[00:01:36]
And twenty-seven angels[00:01:38]
From the Great Beyond[00:01:41]
They tied me to this table right here[00:01:48]
In the Tower of Song[00:01:51]
So you can stick your little pins[00:01:57]
In that voodoo doll[00:02:00]
I'm very sorry baby [00:02:02]
Doesn't look like me at all[00:02:05]
I'm standing by the window[00:02:07]
Where the light is strong[00:02:11]
Ah they don't let a woman kill you[00:02:16]
Not in the Tower of Song[00:02:20]
Now you can say that I've grown bitter[00:02:50]
But of this you may be sure[00:02:53]
The rich have got their channels[00:02:56]
In the bedrooms of the poor[00:02:58]
And there's a mighty judgement coming [00:03:00]
But I may be wrong[00:03:04]
You see you hear these funny voices[00:03:09]
In the Tower of Song[00:03:13]
I see you standing on the other side[00:03:20]
I don't know how the river got so wide[00:03:24]
I loved you baby way back when[00:03:29]
And all the bridges are burning[00:03:38]
That we might have crossed[00:03:41]
But I feel so close to everything[00:03:43]
That we lost[00:03:47]
We'll never[00:03:48]
We'll never have to lose it again[00:03:51]
Now I bid you farewell [00:03:58]
I don't know when I'll be back[00:04:00]
There moving us tomorrow[00:04:03]
To that tower down the track[00:04:05]
But you'll be hearing from me baby [00:04:08]
Long after I'm gone[00:04:11]
I'll be speaking to you sweetly[00:04:17]
From a window in the Tower of Song[00:04:20]
Yeah my friends are gone[00:04:46]
And my hair is grey[00:04:49]
I ache in the places[00:04:51]
Where I used to play[00:04:53]
And I'm crazy for love[00:04:56]
But I'm not coming on[00:04:59]
I'm just paying my rent every day[00:05:05]
Oh in the Tower of Song[00:05:09]
