Song of the Highest Tower

I've been patient too long

My memory's dead

All fears and all wrongs

To the heavens, have fled

With a fierce buzzing rise

While all my pain's burst

Oh, come the filthy flies

And their sickly thirst

Oh, may it come

The time of love

Oh, the time we would be

Enamored of

I've waited for too long

Lord, and I've done nothing wrong

Please don't feel bad

But be free

So many days I've spent

Many times I've tried

To give a name to the thing that ails you, though

I know I haven't the right

All the reasons I've built up

All advice that I gave

Drifted on like so many floats

It's a senseless parade

Oh, may it come

The time of love

Oh, the time we would be

Enamored of

I've waited for too long

Lord, and I've done nothing wrong

Please don't feel bad

But be free

All this misplaced affection

Is like a charm or a spell

Well, you know it makes you feel so fine

While it lays waste to your health

Everyone I see

Everywhere that I go

Well you know, it's just how you feel

It's not what you know

Oh, may it come

The time of love

Oh, the time we would be

Enamored of

I've waited for too long

Lord, and I've done nothing wrong

Please don't feel bad

But be free

All the feeling that has gone

All the sense that has left

Taken leave and gone abroad

To other worlds while you slept

It wouldn't be much different

It would be quite the same

All the evil you can possibly dream of and

No one to blame

Oh, may it come

The time of love

Oh, the time we would be

Enamored of

I've waited for too long

Lord, and I've done nothing wrong

Please don't feel bad

But be free
