[00:17.170] My friends are gone
[00:18.300] And my hair is grey
[00:20.550] I ache in the places
[00:21.920] Where I used to play
[00:23.670] And I'm crazy for love
[00:26.670] But I'm not coming on
[00:28.970]
[00:30.840] I'm just paying my rent every day
[00:33.750] In the Tower of Song
[00:35.930]
[00:38.420] I said to Hank Williams
[00:39.800] How lonely does it get
[00:42.110] Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
[00:44.670] But I hear him coughing
[00:47.470]
[00:47.980] All night long
[00:49.540]
[00:51.660] A hundred floors above me
[00:54.090]
[00:54.650] In the Tower of Song
[00:56.210]
[00:59.270] And I was born like this
[01:00.580] I had no choice
[01:02.640] I was born with the gift
[01:04.270] Of a golden voice
[01:05.760] And twenty-seven angels
[01:08.570] From the Great Beyond
[01:10.940]
[01:12.620] All they tied me to
[01:14.060] This table right here
[01:15.560] In the Tower of Song
[01:17.800]
[01:19.740] So you can stick your little pins
[01:21.550] In that voodoo doll
[01:23.290]
[01:23.850] I'm very sorry baby
[01:25.160] Doesn't look like me at all
[01:27.350] I'm standing by the window
[01:29.650] Where the light is strong
[01:31.990]
[01:33.620] Ah they don't let a woman kill you
[01:35.570] Not in the Tower of Song
[01:38.510]
[01:40.700] Now you can say
[01:41.440] That I've grown bitter
[01:42.660] But of this you may be sure
[01:44.590] The rich have got their channels
[01:45.970] In the bedrooms of the poor
[01:47.520] And there's a mighty
[01:48.570] Judgement coming
[01:50.570] But I may be wrong
[01:52.500]
[01:54.370] You see you hear
[01:55.810] These funny voices
[01:57.180]
[01:58.310] In the Tower of Song
[01:59.800]
[02:01.860] I can see you
[02:03.100] Standing on the other side
[02:05.690] I don't know
[02:06.110] How the river got so wide
[02:08.550] I loved you baby
[02:11.660] Way back when
[02:14.170]
[02:15.470] And all the bridges are burning
[02:17.470] That we might have crossed
[02:19.600] But I feel so close to everything
[02:22.020] That we lost
[02:23.280] We'll never never have to
[02:26.150] Lose it again
[02:30.950]
[02:34.820] Now I bid you farewell
[02:37.070] I don't know
[02:37.620] When I'll be back
[02:38.560] There moving us tomorrow
[02:39.810] To that tower down the track
[02:41.560] But you'll be hearing
[02:44.050] From me baby
[02:44.860] Long after I'm gone
[02:48.170]
[02:48.730] I'll be speaking to you sweetly
[02:50.860] From a window in the Tower of Song
[02:53.580]
[02:55.890] Yeah my friends are gone
[02:57.700] And my hair is grey
[02:59.760] I ache in the places
[03:01.190] Where I used to play
[03:02.760] And I'm crazy for love
[03:05.550] But I'm not coming on
[03:07.860]
[03:09.730] I'm just paying my rent every day
[03:12.910] In the Tower of Song
[03:14.510]
[03:17.200] I'm just paying my rent every day
[03:19.690] In the Tower of Song
[03:21.800]
[03:24.170] I'm just paying my rent every day
[03:27.050] In the Tower of Song
