The Tower Lyrics by Alana Henderson

Wax & Wane

0

We've all got to play dead for our own good sometimes
Close our hearts and our minds and our eyes
And make out like we've crossed the lines
Into the next realm
We've dropped the helm
We've all got to retreat into our own wood sometimes
Where your mother, your brother, and every other
Can prop you up like old times
So you'll climb up
To the top of the tower you've descended
And don't come back down until you are mended
And regale your loved ones with how it all ended
And you will be fine but for now...
The poets' words are contradictions in terms
And you curse their rhyme
Cause you have loved and you've lost
And you feel star-crossed and you search to find
Any sweetness in sorrow won't see you tomorrow\
Well fare thee well my first my fairest
I need time
You were the best, the dearest one I held nearest
Every joy will be thine
But I need to climb up
To the top of the tower I've descended
And don't come back down until I have mended
And regale my loved ones with how it all ended
And I will be fine but for now...
When you lost him feels like you've lost a limb
And when you can get another feels like 'why bother?'
When hindsight's review has painted you a fool
And when cruel to be kind feels like cruel to be cruel
So you'll climb up
To the top of the tower you've descended
And don't come back down until you are mended
And regale your loved ones with how it all ended
And you will be fine but for now...
You will be fine but for now...
You will be fine but for now...
It's gonna take time
