Towers

Four, three, two, one

Play me something gently, I'm across the ocean, missing 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's 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

It's a far drop to Hell

I pray we outlive this fountain

I reckon time will tell

The stronger folks keep goin'

No matter where they've been

And there are lights on sparklin' towers

That I'll never see again

And 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

That 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

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

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 breathing in a life and my legs are workin' fine

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