G Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to playC G And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming onD C I'm just paying my rent everydayG In the Tower of SongG I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.C G But I hear him coughing all night longD C A hundred floors above meG A hundred floors above meG In the Tower of SongG I was born like this, I had no choice. I was born with the gift of a golden voice.C G And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyondD C They tied me to this table right hereG In the Tower of SongG So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at allC G I'm standing by the window where the light is strongD C They don't let a woman kill you, notG In the Tower of SongG Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poorC And there's a mighty judgment comingG But I may be wrongD C You see, you hear these funny voicesG In the Tower of SongEmi D I see you standing on the other sideEmi D I don't know how the river got so wideC G I loved you, baby, way back whenEmi D And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossedEmi D But I feel so close to everything that we lostC D We'll never have to lose it againG I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the trackC But You'll be hearing from me, babyG Long after I'm goneD C I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a windowG In the Tower of Song
