Tower Of Song Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

Well my friends have gone and my hair is grey 

I ache in the places where I used to play 

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on 

I'm just paying my rent every day 

In the Tower of Song. 

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? 

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet 

But I can hear him coughing all night long 

About a hundred floors above me 

In the Tower of Song.

I was born like this, I had no choice 

I was born with the gift of a golden voice 

And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond 

They just tied me to this table right here 

In the Tower of Song. 

Well you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll 

I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all 

I'm standing near the window where the light is strong 

Oh they don't let a woman kill you 

Not in the Tower of Song. 

I see you standing on the other side 

I don't know how the river got so wide 

I loved you baby, way back when 

And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed 

But I feel so close to everything that we lost 

We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again.

Well I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back 

They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track 

But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone 

I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window 

In the Tower of Song. 

I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window 

In the Tower of Song. 

I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window 

In the Tower of Song.
