Man when he was young and in his prime he had a great voice, hurts to listen to songs like Marie when he more or less just talks in a deep rough voice, even still I love just about everything this Man does
So close and yet so far away And all the things I'd hoped to say Will have to go unsaid today Perhaps until tomorrow Fears have built a wall between Our lives and all that lovin' means Will have to go unfelt it seems That leaves only sorrow You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day Close your eyes and speak to me Of faith and love and destiny As distant as eternity From truth and understanding The wind blows cold outside your door It whispers words I've tried before But you don't hear me anymore Your pride's just too demanding You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day The end is coming soon, it's plain A warm bed just ain't worth the pain And I will go and you'll remain With the bitterness we tasted A mother's breast A newborn child A poet's tear as an drunken smile I can't help feelin' all but while Their meaning won't be wasted You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see it's got to fall Some day
My wife and I built our tower strong and tall over forty years, but she passed away about a year ago. I understand that it has to fall someday. Hopefully not too soon, as I have a lot left to accomplish.
Top 3. Thx townes
One of the most delicate, gentle, sensitive and Exciting song

Only 10 comments. Oh Townes, you are one of the most important musicians of the last century. Ah well. So it goes.
Delta Mama Blues, in my opinion the best TVZ Album ever..
Truly a masterpiece, that's for sure
It's roughly tied with the self-titled for me, but they are both unparalleled works in the genre to me.
I agree, but Flying Shoes and At my Window are running close imo
So close and yet so far away
And all the things I'd hoped to say
Will have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
Fears have built a wall between
Our lives and all that lovin' means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
That leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see it's got to fall
Some day
Close your eyes and speak to me
Of faith and love and destiny
As distant as eternity
From truth and understanding
The wind blows cold outside your door
It whispers words I've tried before
But you don't hear me anymore
Your pride's just too demanding
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see it's got to fall
Some day
The end is coming soon, it's plain
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
And I will go and you'll remain
With the bitterness we tasted
A mother's breast
A newborn child
A poet's tear as an drunken smile
I can't help feelin' all but while
Their meaning won't be wasted
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see it's got to fall
Some day
