The Tower - Chris De Burgh[00:00:01]
A great lord came walking through the forest one morning with a weapon in his hand[00:00:13]
Rich was his castle he lacked for nothing[00:00:23]
But killing was his plan[00:00:27]
When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky[00:00:32]
Nothing was found only blood on the ground she was gone[00:00:37]
Cursing his fortune he turned to the forest to kill once again[00:00:50]
And standing before him was a lovely young woman with her hand hung in pain[00:00:59]
When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire[00:01:08]
He said I must have her she must be mine she will be mine[00:01:13]
He offered her silver he offered her gold[00:01:26]
But she threw it on the ground[00:01:30]
He fell to his knees and he begged her oh please come with me[00:01:35]
What you wish will be found[00:01:41]
She said sire I'll go if you'll put up your bow[00:01:44]
And spare these creatures leave them in peace[00:01:49]
You have no need[00:01:57]
But her words were lost in the wind[00:02:03]
His eyes were fixed on a queen[00:02:08]
And all he saw was a woman[00:02:13]
And all she was was a dream[00:02:18]
Oh oh[00:02:23]
And all he saw was a woman and all she was was a dream[00:02:33]
He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her to his castle he did ride[00:02:45]
In the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower and he threw her deep inside[00:02:54]
Then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry[00:03:03]
Brought thunder and lightning rain falling down[00:03:07]
Tears on the ground[00:03:15]
All through the days on her face he would gaze for she was lovely as the spring[00:03:21]
No words would she speake but leave them in peace and some sad lament she would sing[00:03:30]
Oh one day by the door through the window he saw[00:03:39]
A single white feather lying on the floor[00:03:44]
She was there no more[00:03:50]
Now that great lord is dying his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl[00:03:56]
For many an hour he has wept on the tower for she meant more than the world[00:04:06]
And once in the sky a white bird flew by[00:04:15]
He lifted his hands he cried out in pain[00:04:20]
Come back again[00:04:28]
But his words were lost in the wind[00:04:35]
His castle was built upon sand[00:04:39]
All he has is the memory[00:04:44]
And all he yearns is her hand[00:04:49]
Ah ah[00:04:54]
All he has is this memory[00:05:04]
And all he yearns is her hand[00:05:08]
