Nicole Atkins - The Tower lyrics

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 me 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 The 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 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, tight There's a tower, there's a tower There's a tower, crumbling Crumbling, crumbling, down So when the light finally dies I'll know the answer to why They call the dawn, mourning Wish I could've told you goodbye
