Towers Lyrics

[Intro]
Four, three, two, one

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven (Long road)
It's a far drop to hell
I pray we outlive this fountain
I 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
[Outro]
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?
