[ti:the tower]
[ar:chris de burgh]
[00:13.644]A  great  lord  came  walking  through  the  forest
[00:16.767]one  morning  with  a  weapon  in  his  hand;
[00:22.839]Rich  was  his  castle,he  lacked  for  nothing,
[00:27.630]but  killing  was  his  plan;
[00:32.121]When  a  white  bird  flew  by  she  fell  from  the  sky,
[00:36.947]Nothing  was  found,only  blood  on  the  ground,she  was  gone;
[00:50.09]Cursing  his  fortune,
[00:52.238]he  turned  to  the  forest  to  kill  once  again,
[00:59.201]And  standing  before  him  was  a  lovely  young  woman
[01:03.427]with  her  hand  hung  in  pain,
[01:08.454]When  he  saw  her  his  eyes  were  filled  with  desire,
[01:13.278]He  said "I  must  have  her,she  must  be  mine,
[01:20.311]She  will  be  mine..."
[01:26.387]He  offered  her  silver,he  offered  her  gold,
[01:30.800]but  she  threw  it  on  the  ground,
[01:35.751]He  fell  to  his  knees  and  he  begged  her,
[01:39.145]"Oh  please  come  with  me,
[01:41.262]what  you  wish  will  be  found;"
[01:44.702]she  said,"Sire,I'll  go  if  you'll  put  up  your  bow,
[01:49.662]and  spare  these  creatures,leave  them  in  peace,
[01:57.88]You  have  no  need..."
[02:02.654]But  her  words  were  lost  in  the  wind
[02:08.80]His  eyes  were  fixed  on  a  queen
[02:13.331]And  all  he  saw  was  a  woman
[02:18.364]And  all  she  was,was  a  dream...
[02:23.382]Oh  oh...And  all  he  saw  was  a  woman,and  all  she  was,
[02:39.767]Was  a  dream...
[02:44.971]He  took  her  and  bound  her  with  ropes  tied  around  her
[02:49.243]to  his  castle  he  did  ride;
[02:53.829]in  the  wood  was  a  bower  where  stood  an  an  old  tower
[02:58.589]and  he  threw  her  deep  inside;
[03:02.843]then  the  birds  left  the  sky  and  a  terrible  cry,
[03:07.749]brought  thunder  and  lightning,rain  falling  down,
[03:15.25]Tears  on  the  ground...
[03:21.256]All  through  the  days  on  her  face  he  would  gaze,
[03:24.723]for  she  was  lovely  as  the  spring;no  words  would  she  speaketh  but "Leave  them  in  peace",
[03:34.196]and  some  sad  lament  she  would  sing,
[03:38.813]Oh  one  day  by  the  door,through  the  window  he  saw
[03:43.930]A  single  white  feather  lying  on  the  floor.
[03:50.837]She  was  there  no  more...
[03:56.128]Now  that  great  lord  is  dying,
[03:59.306]his  cold  heart  is  crying  for  the  love  of  a  girl;
[04:06.458]for  many  an  hour  he  has  wept  on  the  Tower
[04:10.677]for  she  meant  more  than  the  world;
[04:15.646]and  once  in  the  sky,a  white  bird  flew  by,
[04:20.509]he  lifted  his  hands,he  cried  out  in  pain
[04:27.937]"Come  back  again..."
[04:33.930]But  his  words  were  lost  in  the  wind,
[04:38.830]His  castle  was  built  upon  sand,
[04:44.122]All  he  saw  was  her  memory,
[04:48.637]And  all  he  yearns  is  her  hand...
[04:53.442]Ah  ah..All  he  has,is  the  memory,
[05:08.562]And  all  he  yearns  is  her  hand.
