Tower Song

Martha Wainwright

We had visions, in the night
Oh, oh, oh
I was scared and you held me tight
Oh, ohhh

It was like we were in black and white
As clear as day, as dark as night

And the truth became a lie
Oh, ohhh
There was no longer peace of mind
Just fear of the unknown, and the unkind

And then when he undressed me
And took my body
I was resolute to be fine

Now the soldiers are all on fire
And our hearts, are dead from desire

And when you say it has nothing to do
Nothing to do with you, you're a liar

Now the sky is filled with dust
Of those we loved and those we lost
Oh, ohhh

Rebuild the tower
Make it last longer
Make it stronger
Give up your power
