[00:08.710] Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[00:13.710] I ache in the places where I used to play
[00:18.080] And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
[00:26.500] I'm just paying my rent every day
[00:31.740] Oh in the Tower of Song
[00:37.729] I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
[00:43.499] Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
[00:47.159] But I hear him coughing all night long
[00:57.329] A hundred floors above me
[01:00.949] In the Tower of Song
[01:28.150] I was born like this, I had no choice
[01:33.700] I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[01:37.949] And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
[01:47.749] They tied me to this table right here
[01:51.240] In the Tower of Song
[01:56.800] So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
[02:02.029] I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
[02:07.190] I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
[02:16.200] Ah they don't let a woman kill you
[02:19.630] Not in the Tower of Song
[02:50.330] Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
[02:56.000] The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
[03:00.320] And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
[03:09.610] You see, you hear these funny voices
[03:13.400] In the Tower of Song
[03:20.660] I see you standing on the other side
[03:24.400] I don't know how the river got so wide
[03:29.100] I loved you baby, way back when
[03:38.690] And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
[03:42.940] But I feel so close to everything that we lost
[03:48.170] We'll never have to lose it again
[03:58.350] Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
[04:03.100] There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
[04:07.030] But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
[04:17.010] I'll be speaking to you sweetly
[04:19.570] From a window in the Tower of Song
[04:46.270] Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
[04:50.640] I ache in the places where I used to play
[04:55.320] And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
[05:04.740] I'm just paying my rent every day
[05:08.990] Oh in the Tower of Song
