Song by Leonard Cohen / U2<br /><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 comin' on.<br>
I'm just payin' my rent everyday 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 in the coffee all night long<br>
Oh, a hundred floors above me 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 in the Tower of Song.<br>
<br>
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll<br>
I'm very sorry, baby, it doesn't look like me at all<br>
I'm standin' by the window where the light is strong<br>
Ah, they don't let a woman kill you, 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 comin' but I may be wrong<br>
You see, I hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song.<br>
<br>
I see you standin' on the other side<br>
I don't... How the river got so wide?<br>
I loved you, baby, way back when...<br>
And all the bridges are burnin' that we might've crossed<br>
But I feel so close to everything that we lost<br>
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again.<br>
<br>
Now, I did you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back<br>
They're movin' us tomorrow to the tower down the track<br>
But you'll be hearin' from me, baby, long after I'm gone<br>
I'll be speakin' to you sweetly 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 comin' on.<br>
I'm just payin' my rent everyday in the Tower of Song.<br>
