[00:00.58]Tower of Song – Leonard Cohen
[00:09.34]Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[00:13.77]
[00:14.46]I ache in the places where I used to play
[00:18.95]And I’m crazy for love but I’m not coming on
[00:25.00]
[00:28.31]I’m just paying my rent every day
[00:32.55]Oh in the Tower of Song
[00:34.61]
[00:38.36]I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
[00:42.97]
[00:44.22]Hank Williams hasn’t answered yet
[00:48.03]But I hear him coughing all night long
[00:53.91]
[00:57.28]A hundred floors above me
[01:01.02]In the Tower of Song
[01:03.46]
[01:28.62]I was born like this, I had no choice
[01:33.68]I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[01:38.17]
[01:38.73]And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
[01:44.61]
[01:48.48]They tied me to this table right here
[01:51.98]the In Tower of Song
[01:54.06]
[01:57.42]So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
[02:02.10]
[02:02.85]I’m very sorry, baby, doesn’t look like me at all
[02:07.59]I’m standing by the window where the light is strong
[02:13.88]
[02:16.81]Ah they don’t let a woman kill you
[02:20.49]Not in the Tower of Song
[02:23.30]
[02:50.63]Now you can say that I’ve grown bitter but of you this may be sure
[02:55.24]
[02:55.80]The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
[03:00.23]And there’s a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
[03:06.95]
[03:10.02]You see, you hear these funny voices
[03:13.83]In the Tower of Song
[03:16.21]
[03:20.83]I see you standing on the other side
[03:24.94]I don’t know how the river got so wide
[03:29.67]I loved you baby, way back when
[03:35.79]
[03:39.03]And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
[03:43.65]But I feel so close to everything that we lost
[03:48.65]We’ll never have to lose it again
[03:54.83]
[03:58.64]Now I bid you farewell, I don’t know when I’ll be back
[04:02.95]
[04:03.51]There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
[04:07.81]But you’ll be hearing from me baby, long after I’m gone
[04:13.93]
[04:17.73]I’ll be speaking to you sweetly
[04:20.42]From a window in the Tower of Song
[04:23.60]
[04:46.69]Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[04:50.86]
[04:51.67]I ache in the places where I used to play
[04:55.57]
[04:56.26]And I’m crazy for love but I’m not coming on
[05:02.31]
[05:05.56]I’m just paying my rent every day
