[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
