lyrics

Two towers tall and thin
Blinking at the sky:
I spent so much of my life
Beneath their loving eyes.

Who, who will watch me now,
Eleven, thirteen, and forty-five?
Who will tell me nothing’s changed?
Who will tell me I’m alive?

I’ve seen them from the north.
I’ve seen them from the west.
They’ve seen everything I’ve done,
At my worst and at my best.

Walk a circle around them:
They embrace then part as friends.
Once they are out of sight,
I start my life again.

What is old
Once was new.
Some will go
And make you blue!

Where we are meant to be
Is never where we are.
And if that wasn’t true
We’d never get too far.

But look at us right now,
Heads tilted back and standing still,
Searching all around the sky
From atop the highest hill.
