Townes Van Zandt - (1971) - Tower Song скачать видео бесплатно

So close and yet so far away

And all the things I'd hoped to say

Will have to go unsaid today

Perhaps until tomorrow

Your fear has built a wall between

Our lives and all what lovin' means

Will have to go unfelt it seems

And that leaves only sorrow

You built your tower strong and tall

Can't you see it's got to fall some day

You close your eyes and speak to me

Of faith and love and destiny

As distant as eternity,

Truth and understanding

The wind blows cold outside your door

It whispers words I've tried before

But you don't hear me anymore

Your pride's just too demanding

The end is coming soon, it's plain

A warm bed just ain't worth the pain

And I will go and you'll remain

With the bitterness we tasted

A mother's breast, a newborn child

A poet's tear, and drunken smile

Can't help thinkin' all the while

Their meaning won't be wasted
