My wife and I built our tower strong and tall over forty years, but she passed away about a year ago. I understand that it has to fall someday. Hopefully not too soon, as I have a lot left to accomplish.
Man when he was young and in his prime he had a great voice, hurts to listen to songs like Marie when he more or less just talks in a deep rough voice, even still I love just about everything this Man does
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 Fears have built a wall between Our lives and all that lovin' means Will have to go unfelt it seems That leaves only sorrow You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day Close your eyes and speak to me Of faith and love and destiny As distant as eternity From 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 You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day 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 as an drunken smile I can't help feelin' all but while Their meaning won't be wasted You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day
