Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song Live In London Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
I don't want anyone to get alarmed, I know you've probably never seen one of these before
But, it goes by itself

[Verse 1]
Well, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not comin' on
I'm just payin' my rent every day, in the Tower of Song

[Verse 2]
I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
Yeah, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song

[Keyboard Solo]
You're very kind, thank you

[Verse 3]
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here, in the Tower of Song

[Verse 4]
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standin' by the window, where the light is strong
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
[Verse 5]
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
There's a mighty Judgement comin', but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices, in the Tower of Song

[Bridge]
I see you standin' on the other side
I don't know how the river got this wide
I loved you, baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burnin' that we might've crossed
But I feel so damn close to everything we lost
We'll never, never have to lose it again

[Verse 6]
So I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're movin' us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be, you'll be hearin' from me, darlin', long after I'm gone
I'll be speakin' to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song

[Verse 7]
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not comin' on
I'm just payin' my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
[Outro]
Don't stop, don't leave me here alone
Don't ever stop
Sing me to bed and, sing me through the morning
Because, I'm so grateful to you because, tonight
It's become clear to me, tonight the, the great mysteries have, unraveled
And, I've penetrated to the very core of things
And I have stumbled on the answer and I'm not the sort of chap that would keep this to himself
Do you want to hear the answer?
Are you truly hungry for the answer?
Then you're just the people I want to tell it to
Because it's a rare thing to come upon this
And I'm gonna let you in on it now
The answer, to the mysteries:
Doo-dum-dum-dum-do-doo-dum-dum
