作曲：Leonard Cohen

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 coming on

I m just paying my rent every day

Oh in the Tower of Song

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

A hundred floors above me

In the Tower of Song

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

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 standing by the window where the light is strong

Ah they don t let a woman kill you

Not 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 judgement 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 the bridges are burning that we might have crossed

But I feel so close to everything that we lost

We ll never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell I don t know when I ll be back

There 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
