The tower has fallen, The ravens have all flown,
We built it up brick by brick, On foundations unknown.
You, called I threw down my hair, But you did not like that I lived up there.
The tower has fallen, The one made of ivory,
We built it up brick by brick, But it never felt the right fit to me.
They lament the devastation, Of isolation and separation.
So, don’t cry
Where it’s wild and snowy,
Trees grow sideways in the wind.
Hold our wounds to the sky,
Start again, find a whole new rhythm.
Somewhere special in your mind,
Pathways will unwind
Hold our wounds to the sky
We can learn to live and die and live and die.
The tower has fallen, The ravens have all flown
We built it up brick by brick, On foundations unknown
The tower has fallen, The ravens have all flown
We built up brick by brick, On foundations,
Im sorry I’m a London girl, I built my walls, so high and tall
So don’t cry.
Where it’s wild and snowy,
Trees grow sideways in the wind.
Hold our wounds to the sky,
Start again, find a whole new rhythm.
Somewhere special in your mind,
Pathways will unwind
Hold our wounds to the sky
We can learn to live and die and live and die.
