[00:18.77]Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[00:23.96]I ache in the places where I used to play
[00:28.55]And I’m crazy for love, but I’m not comin’ on
[00:38.34]I’m just payin’ my rent every day in the Tower of Song
[00:46.05]
[00:48.65]I said to Hank Williams “How lonely does it get?”
[00:52.34]Hank Williams hasn’t answered yet
[00:56.80]But I hear him coughing all night long
[01:06.66]Oh, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
[01:15.73]
[01:41.97]I was born like this, I had no choice
[01:57.51]I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[02:01.58]And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
[02:11.35]They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
[02:21.71]So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
[02:25.83]I’m very sorry, baby, it doesn’t look like me at all
[02:32.01]I’m standin’ by the window where the light is strong
[02:37.57]They don’t let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
[02:49.49]Now, you can say that I’ve grown bitter but of this you may be sure
[02:55.79]The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
[03:01.69]There’s a mighty Judgement comin’ but I may be wrong
[03:10.12]You see, I hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
[03:20.03]I see you standin’ on the other side
[03:25.48]I don’t know how the river got so wide
[03:31.75]I loved you, baby, way back when…
[03:39.84]And all the bridges are burnin’ that we might’ve crossed
[03:44.40]But I feel so close to everything that we lost
[03:49.89]We’ll never, we’ll never have to lose it again
[03:56.32]So I bid you farewell, I don’t know when I’ll be back
[04:04.58]They’re movin’ us tomorrow to the tower down the track
[04:10.55]But you’ll be hearin’ from me, baby, long after I’m gone
[04:18.93]I’ll be speakin’ to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
[04:28.81]Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[04:35.92]I ache in the places where I used to play
[04:39.50]And I’m crazy for love but I’m not comin’ on
[04:50.38]I’m just payin’ my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
