Lyrics:
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
