1
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
2
I ache in the places I used to play
3
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
4
I'm paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
5
I said to Leonard Cohen: How lonely does it get?
6
Leonard Cohen hasn't answered me yet
7
But I can hear him coughing all night long,
8
A million floors above me in the Tower of Song
9
I was born like this, I had no choice
10
I was born like this, with a golden voice
11
Twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond,
12
Well they tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
13
You can stick your needles in a voodoo doll
14
I'm sorry baby, but it don't look like me at all
15
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
16
They don't let a woman kill you in the Tower of Song
17
I've grown bitter, bitter, of this you may be sure:
18
The rich, the rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poor
19
And there's a mighty judgement but it won't be long, but I may be wrong
20
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song - oh yeah -
21
The guitar, the bass, the drums, so nice every hour in the Tower of Song
22
I see you standing on the other side
23
I don't know how the river got so wide
24
But I loved you, baby, way back when
25
All the bridges are burning that we might have crossed,
26
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
27
But I'll never have to lose you again, Tower of Song
28
I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'm back
29
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
30
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
31
I'm speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
32
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, of this you can be sure:
33
The rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poor
34
And there's a mighty judgement but it won't take long, I may be wrong
