Fears have built a wall between
Can't you see it's got to fall some day?
The end is coming soon, it's plain
Will have to go unsaid today
Our lives and all that lovin' means
Whispers words I've tried before
Will have to go unfelt it seems
You close your eyes and speak to me
A mother's breast, a newborn child
With the bitterness we tasted
Their meaning won't be wasted
And that leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Your pride's just too demanding
Can't you see it's got to fall some day?
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
Of faith and love, and destiny
You built your tower strong and tall
As distant as eternity
Perhaps until tomorrow
And truth, and understanding
And I will go and you'll remain
But can't help thinkin' all the while
But you don't hear me anymore
You built your tower strong and tall
A poet's tear and drunken smile
The wind blows cold outside your door
