Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song <br />Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey <br /> I ache in the places where I used to play <br /> And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on <br /> I'm just paying my rent every day <br /> Oh in the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? <br /> Hank Williams hasn't answered yet <br /> But I hear him coughing all night long <br /> A hundred floors above me <br /> In the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> I was born like this, I had no choice <br /> I was born with the gift of a golden voice <br /> And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond <br /> They tied me to this table right here <br /> In the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll <br /> I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all <br /> I'm standing by the window where the light is strong <br /> Ah they don't let a woman kill you <br /> Not in the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure <br /> The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor <br /> And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong <br /> You see, you hear these funny voices <br /> In the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> I see you standing on the other side <br /> I don't know how the river got so wide <br /> I loved you baby, way back when <br /> And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed <br /> But I feel so close to everything that we lost <br /> We'll never have to lose it again <br /> <br /> Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back <br /> There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track <br /> But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone <br /> I'll be speaking to you sweetly <br /> From a window in the Tower of Song <br /> <br /> Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey <br /> I ache in the places where I used to play <br /> And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on <br /> I'm just paying my rent every day <br /> Oh in the Tower of Song
