Tower Song — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



So close and yet so far away

And all the things Id hoped to say

Will have to go unsaid today

Perhaps until tomorrow

Your fear has built a wall between

Our lives and all what lovin means

Will have to go unfelt it seems

And that leaves only sorrow





You built your tower strong and tall

Cant you see its got to fall some day





You close your eyes and speak to me

Of faith and love and destiny

As distant as eternity,

Truth and understanding

The wind blows cold outside your door

It whispers words Ive tried before

But you dont hear me anymore

Your prides just too demanding





The end is coming soon, its plain

A warm bed just aint worth the pain

And I will go and youll remain

With the bitterness we tasted

A mothers breast, a newborn child

A poets tear, and drunken smile

Cant help thinkin all the while

Their meaning wont be wasted
