Tower (Live in Nîmes)

You look like you need a friend

Let me in and we'll pretend

Light some candles, do not cry

I'll sing you a lullaby

You've lost your key and cannot leave

I'll play with you and make believe

I'll keep you safe with all my power

I will build you a tower

In every stone I'll carve your name

Nothing will be quite the same

Laughter at the midnight hour

In our own little tower

Ashes paint our bedroom gray

These shall be our finest days

As I pledge, my precious flower

Keep you safe in a tower

Stay inside and dream of towers

Wake up all alone

Welcome home

All alone you count the hours

Right where you belong

Welcome home

Don't be scared, you won't be hurt

I promise that I'll keep my word

Just behave and we can play

Just do everything I say

Do not speak and do not think

I will give you everything

Everything within my power

I will bring to your tower

Stay inside and dream of towers

Wake up all alone

Welcome home

All alone you count the hours

Right where you belong

Welcome home

See your home on the horizon

What you were will fade away

Every day of every season

Is devoured by the gray

Stay inside and dream of towers

Wake up all alone

Welcome home

All alone you count the hours

Right where you belong

Welcome home
