Tower Song - Townes Van Zandt[00:00:00]
Written by:Townes Van Zandt[00:00:01]
So close and yet so far away[00:00:08]
And all the things I'd hoped to say[00:00:12]
Will have to go unsaid today[00:00:17]
Perhaps until tomorrow[00:00:22]
Your fear has built a wall between[00:00:26]
Our lives and all what lovin' means[00:00:31]
Will have to go unfelt it seems[00:00:36]
And that leaves only sorrow[00:00:40]
You built your tower strong and tall[00:00:45]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day[00:00:50]
You close your eyes and speak to me[00:01:01]
Of faith and love and destiny[00:01:06]
As distant as eternity[00:01:11]
Truth and understanding[00:01:16]
The wind blows cold outside your door[00:01:20]
It whispers words I've tried before[00:01:25]
But you don't hear me anymore[00:01:30]
Your pride's just too demanding[00:01:35]
You built your tower strong and tall[00:01:39]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day[00:01:44]
The end is coming soon it's plain[00:01:56]
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain[00:02:01]
And I will go and you'll remain[00:02:06]
With the bitterness we tasted[00:02:11]
A mother's breast a newborn child[00:02:15]
A poet's tear and drunken smile[00:02:20]
Can't help feeling all the while[00:02:25]
Their meaning won't be wasted[00:02:30]
You built your tower strong and tall[00:02:34]
Can't you see it's got to fall some day[00:02:39]
