Gazing through my summer dreams
To a shore far away
Left my life and I traveled south
To where skies are gray
Filled my mind with a gentle rain
Turned my back to the day
And I felt the pain pass by
Draped in quiet solitude
Lay the Tower by the sea
Rest, o mighty sentinel
And put your trust in me
How many years have you stood alone
With your back to the world?
And your breast of stone beats on
I left a world where I had no hope
And lives weren't shared
I left a world where I couldn't cope
And no one cared
What can they wish from one small man?
I didn't know so I turned and ran
Oh Tower of the South can you comfort me?
Can I comfort you?
We can watch the seas pass by
I seldom look to the North again
It seldom calls
I see black ships on the rising sun
As the rain veil falls
Tower of mine I hear the cold winds blow
Hold me close
I think the storm is closing in
