Tower of Song (Live at Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada 9th Nov 1988) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Leonard Cohen[00:00:02]
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey[00:00:26]
I ache in the places where I used to play[00:00:31]
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on[00:00:36]
I'm just paying my rent every day[00:00:45]
Oh in the Tower of Song[00:00:49]
I said to Hank Williams how lonely does it get[00:00:55]
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet[00:01:01]
But I hear him coughing all night long[00:01:04]
A hundred floors above me[00:01:14]
In the Tower of Song[00:01:17]
I was born like this I had no choice[00:01:49]
I was born with the gift of a golden voice[00:01:54]
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond[00:01:59]
They tied me to this table right here[00:02:09]
In the Tower of Song[00:02:12]
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll[00:02:18]
I'm very sorry baby doesn't look like me at all[00:02:23]
I'm standing by the window[00:02:28]
Where the light is strong[00:02:31]
Ah they don't let a woman kill you[00:02:37]
Not in the Tower of Song[00:02:41]
Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure[00:03:10]
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor[00:03:16]
And there's a mighty judgement coming but I may be wrong[00:03:20]
You see you hear these funny voices[00:03:30]
In the Tower of Song[00:03:33]
I see you standing on the other side[00:03:40]
I don't know how the river got so wide[00:03:44]
I loved you baby way back when[00:03:49]
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed[00:03:58]
But I feel so close to everything that we lost[00:04:03]
We'll never we'll never have to lose it again[00:04:08]
Now I bid you farewell I don't know when I'll be back[00:04:18]
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track[00:04:23]
But you'll be hearing from me baby long after I'm gone[00:04:27]
I'll be speaking to you sweetly[00:04:37]
From a window[00:04:39]
In the Tower of Song[00:04:40]
Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey[00:05:10]
I ache in the places where I used to play[00:05:15]
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on[00:05:20]
I'm just paying my rent every day[00:05:29]
In the Tower of Song[00:05:33]
