The Tower Lyrics - Mondo Amore - 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 morning 

And I 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 

They 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 

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
