So close and yet so far away [00:00:25]
And all the things I'd hoped to say [00:00:31]
Will have to go unsaid today [00:00:37]
Perhaps until tomorrow [00:00:43]
Fears have built a wall between [00:00:49]
Our lives and all that lovin' means [00:00:55]
Will have to go unfelt it seems [00:01:01]
And that leaves only sorrow [00:01:07]
You built your tower strong and tall [00:01:13]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day [00:01:19]
You close your eyes and speak to me [00:01:31]
Of faith and love and destiny [00:01:36]
As distant as eternity [00:01:43]
And truth and understanding [00:01:49]
The wind blows cold outside your door [00:01:55]
Whispers words I've tried before [00:02:01]
But you don't hear me anymore [00:02:07]
Your pride's just too demanding [00:02:13]
You built your tower strong and tall [00:02:20]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day [00:02:25]
The end is coming soon it's plain [00:02:56]
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain [00:03:02]
And I will go and you'll remain [00:03:08]
With the bitterness we tasted [00:03:14]
A mother's breast a newborn child [00:03:20]
A poet's tear and drunken smile [00:03:26]
But can't help thinkin' all the while [00:03:33]
Their meaning won't be wasted [00:03:39]
You built your tower strong and tall [00:03:45]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day[00:03:51]
