The Tower lyrics
by Nicole Atkins
We built a tower for all the town to see
Bricks, concrete, metal, and memories
Inside the rocks and stone, spaces became our home
Arguments echoing, love made so high
Searching for words for the end
But we built the tower too high
When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
Will we finally know why?
They call the dawn the morning
And I'd wish we'd said goodbye
Years flying by, trapped all alone in the sky
And you, stories down and all of our loved ones outside
Our words turned out all wrong, intentions lost in halls
Now all I want to do is tear down the walls
Searching for words for the end
But we built the tower too high
When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
Will we finally know why
The call the dawn the morning
And I wish we'd said goodbye
Seems like the final day you'll ever come my way
So please forgive me if I hold on too tight, too tight tight tight
There's a tower, there's a tower
There's a tower crumbling, crumbling, crumbling down
