Song Lyrics

But you don t hear me anymore, you built your tower strong and tall
Leavin only sorrow, will have to go unsaid today Tower, you built your tower strong and tall
as distant as eternity
you built your tower strong and tall
can t you see it s got to fall some day
Their meanin won t be wasted, the wind blows cold outside your door
our lives and all that lovin means
It whispers words i ve tried before, your pride s just too demandin

Will have to go unfelt it seems, leavin only sorrow Townes, leavin only sorrow
Can t you see it s got to fall some day, a warm bed just ain t worth the pain Tower, can t you see it s got to fall some day
You built your tower strong and tall, will have to go unfelt it seems
our lives and all that lovin means
A mother s breast and a newborn child, so close yet so far away, will have to go unsaid today
i can t help thinkin all the while
You built your tower strong and tall, you built your tower strong and tall Song, you built your tower strong and tall
Your pride s just too demandin, our lives and all that lovin means, leavin only sorrow

but you don t hear me anymore
Leavin only sorrow, will have to go unsaid today
The wind blows cold outside your door, a warm bed just ain t worth the pain
You built your tower strong and tall, your fears have built a wall between
You built your tower strong and tall, their meanin won t be wasted, can t you see it s got to fall some day
it whispers words i ve tried before
Can t you see it s got to fall some day, can t you see that got to fall some day Song, your pride s just too demandin
You built your tower strong and tall, a mother s breast and a newborn child

you built your tower strong and tall
of all the things i d hoped to say
Your fears have built a wall between, from truth and understandin, a mother s breast and a newborn child
Close your eyes and speak to me of faith and love and destiny, your fears have built a wall between
close your eyes and speak to me of faith and love and destiny
Time to go and you ll remain, close your eyes and speak to me of faith and love and destiny, can t you see it s got to fall some day
So close yet so far away, from truth and understandin, can t you see it s got to fall some day
can t you see that got to fall some day

i can t help thinkin all the while
it whispers words i ve tried before
Can t you see that got to fall some day, their meanin won t be wasted
A mother s breast and a newborn child, you built your tower strong and tall Zandt, so close yet so far away
A poet s tears and a drunken smile, will have to go unsaid today
The end is comin soon, you built your tower strong and tall
It whispers words i ve tried before, their meanin won t be wasted
perhaps until tomorrow

You built your tower strong and tall, as distant as eternity
Time to go and you ll remain, will have to go unsaid today
Their meanin won t be wasted, with the bitterness we ve tasted
can t you see it s got to fall some day
our lives and all that lovin means
a poet s tears and a drunken smile
Their meanin won t be wasted, will have to go unsaid today
Your fears have built a wall between, their meanin won t be wasted Song, of all the things i d hoped to say

From truth and understandin, of all the things i d hoped to say
Perhaps until tomorrow, close your eyes and speak to me of faith and love and destiny Van, but you don t hear me anymore
the wind blows cold outside your door
