Tower Of Song-Leonard Cohen

[00:09.31]Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey [00:14.31]I ache in the places where I used to play [00:18.68]And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on [00:27.10]I'm just paying my rent every day [00:32.34]Oh in the Tower of Song [00:38.33]I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? [00:44.01]Hank Williams hasn't answered yet [00:47.76]But I hear him coughing all night long [00:57.93]A hundred floors above me [01:01.55]In the Tower of Song [01:28.75]I was born like this, I had no choice [01:33.49]I was born with the gift of a golden voice [01:38.55]And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond [01:48.35]They tied me to this table right here [01:51.84]In the Tower of Song [01:57.40]So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll [02:02.63]I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all [02:07.44]I'm standing by the window where the light is strong [02:16.80]Ah they don't let a woman kill you [02:20.23]Not in the Tower of Song [02:50.93]Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure [02:56.06]The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor [03:00.92]And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong [03:10.21]You see, you hear these funny voices [03:13.46]In the Tower of Song [03:21.26]I see you standing on the other side [03:25.00]I don't know how the river got so wide [03:29.43]I loved you baby, way back when [03:39.29]And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed [03:43.54]But I feel so close to everything that we lost [03:48.77]We'll never have to lose it again [03:58.95]Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back [04:03.07]There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track [04:07.63]But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone [04:17.61]I'll be speaking to you sweetly [04:20.17]From a window in the Tower of Song [04:46.87]Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey [04:51.24]I ache in the places where I used to play [04:55.92]And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on [05:05.34]I'm just paying my rent every day [05:09.59]Oh in the Tower of Song
