tower song - jason molina lyrics

Loading...

so close and yet so far away
all the things that i’d like to say
will have to go unsaid today
perhaps until tomorrow
your fears have built a wall between
our lives and all that lovin’ means
will have to go unfelt it seems
leavin’ only sorrow

you built your tower strong and tall
can’t you see, it’s got to fall someday?

so close your eyes and speak to me
about faith and love and destiny
it’s as distant as eternity
to truth and understanding
now, the wind blows cold outside your door
and it whispers words i’ve tried before
but you don’t hear me anymore
since your pride got so demanding

you built your tower strong and tall
can’t you see, it’s got to fall someday?

now, the end is coming soon, it’s plain
and a warm bed just ain’t worth the pain
so i will go and you’ll remain
with the bitterness we tasted
now, a mama’s breast, a newborn child
a poet’s tears, and a drunkard’s smile
i can’t help thinkin’ all the while
that their meanings won’t be wasted

you built your tower strong and tall
can’t you see, it’s got to fall someday?
