The Tower Songtext / Lyric

She lifts the flowers from the window box

Summer's fouled now winter flocks

She lifts her veil to the morning rain

Wipes her eyes to the summer again



Pearls of dew shimmer on her face

Cut inside she would dream to taste

She knocks her flowers from the window side

They fall to the ground they fall to the ground



Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond



Now the woman in an aging form

She's tangled in the bushes tall

Cowering down with head in hands

She cries out loud, she cries out loud

"Seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight.

Seems so cold, seems so cold tonight"



Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond






She can't see visions of this force below

Freezes her life through (garbled "in a joke"?)

She heads to the voice of this rainy day

And it cries like a choir in her mind to stay

It's "Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head

Dream a cloud put out the fire which is your bed!"

She then danced through the kitchen through the force below

And it cries "How fun! But oh so slow..."



Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred

Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred



She's never been quite as cut by life before,

Never been cut by way of life before



Hide away from the raging sun,

You hide your love from the fire beyond



She can't see visions of this force below

Freezes her life through... (garbled "in a joke"?)

She heads to the voice of this rainy day

It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay!"

"Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head

Dream a cloud put out the fire which is your bed"

She then danced through the kitchen through the force below

And it cries "Now fun! but oh so slow... but oh so slow... but oh so slow... but oh so slow..."
