Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
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 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
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
Yeah 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
