Towers

Four, three, two, one

Play me something gently, I'm across the ocean missin' home

There are lights on sparklin' towers that shine dark when seen alone

Somewhere there's a mountain that overlooks the sea

I wonder if that mountain has got more rock than my band and me

And I ain't no victim to a naive boy's dreams

But I wish you were here now to see these damned old sparklin' things

It's a long road to Heaven (long road)

It's a far drop to Hell

I pray we outlive this fountain (pray we outlive)

I reckon time will tell

The stronger folks keep goin'

No matter where they've been (no matter where they've been)

And there are lights on sparklin' towers

That I'll never see again (I'll never see them again)

I am not the person that I was yesterday

And the things I'm seeing now will never be the same

Do you think God's a person or the blinking lights?

They reflect in her eyes while she walks these streets at night

Do you think God's a person or is He just the sound

Of laughter through the walls in a place I haven't found?

It's a long road to Heaven (long road)

It's a far drop to Hell

I pray we outlive this fountain

Reckon only time can tell

The stronger folks keep goin'

No matter where they've been (no matter where they've been)

There are lights on sparklin' towers

That I'll never see again

Do you think God's a person or is He just the sound

Of early mornin' creakin' on some floors way out of town?

I'm breathin' in a life and my legs are workin' fine

Do you think God's a person or the slowly passin' time?
