Tower Of Song — текст песни (Faithfull Marianne)

I`d like to do a song for you now by Leonard Cohen called `The
Tower Of Song`.
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is gray.
I ache in the places where I used to play
Well, I`m crazy for love but I`m not coming on.
I`m just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song.
I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get ?
Hank Williams hasn`t answered yet
But I can hear him coughing all night long,
Oh, a hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song.
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 poor.
And there`s a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
- You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song.
I see you standing on the other side.
I don`t know how the river got so wide.
I loved you, baby, way back when.
And all these bridges are burning that we might have crossed,
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We`ll never, we`ll never have to lose it again.
Well, I bid you farewell, I don`t know when I`ll be back.
They`re moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track,
But you`ll be hearing from me, baby, long after I`m gone.
I`ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.
I`ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.
I`ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.
