The Tower-Chris de Burgh

[00:13.644]A great lord came walking through the forest [00:16.767]one morning with a weapon in his hand; [00:22.839]Rich was his castle,he lacked for nothing, [00:27.630]but killing was his plan; [00:32.121]When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky, [00:36.947]Nothing was found,only blood on the ground,she was gone; [00:50.09]Cursing his fortune, [00:52.238]he turned to the forest to kill once again, [00:59.201]And standing before him was a lovely young woman [01:03.427]with her hand hung in pain, [01:08.454]When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire, [01:13.278]He said "I must have her,she must be mine, [01:20.311]She will be mine..." [01:26.387]He offered her silver,he offered her gold, [01:30.800]but she threw it on the ground, [01:35.751]He fell to his knees and he begged her, [01:39.145]"Oh please come with me, [01:41.262]what you wish will be found;" [01:44.702]she said,"Sire,I'll go if you'll put up your bow, [01:49.662]and spare these creatures,leave them in peace, [01:57.88]You have no need..." [02:02.654]But her words were lost in the wind [02:08.80]His eyes were fixed on a queen [02:13.331]And all he saw was a woman [02:18.364]And all she was,was a dream... [02:23.382]Oh oh...And all he saw was a woman,and all she was, [02:39.767]Was a dream... [02:44.971]He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her [02:49.243]to his castle he did ride; [02:53.829]in the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower [02:58.589]and he threw her deep inside; [03:02.843]then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry, [03:07.749]brought thunder and lightning,rain falling down, [03:15.25]Tears on the ground... [03:21.256]All through the days on her face he would gaze, [03:24.723]for she was lovely as the spring;no words would she speaketh but "Leave them in peace", [03:34.196]and some sad lament she would sing, [03:38.813]Oh one day by the door,through the window he saw [03:43.930]A single white feather lying on the floor. [03:50.837]She was there no more... [03:56.128]Now that great lord is dying, [03:59.306]his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl; [04:06.458]for many an hour he has wept on the Tower [04:10.677]for she meant more than the world; [04:15.646]and once in the sky,a white bird flew by, [04:20.509]he lifted his hands,he cried out in pain [04:27.937]"Come back again..." [04:33.930]But his words were lost in the wind, [04:38.830]His castle was built upon sand, [04:44.122]All he saw was her memory, [04:48.637]And all he yearns is her hand... [04:53.442]Ah ah..All he has,is the memory, [05:08.562]And all he yearns is her hand.
