Lyrics
The Long Glass Tower
I'm staring from the long glass tower.
The lights are dim, they won't last the hour
as the darkness rushes in.
Peace surrounds me like the clear blue sky,
relieves a past that I cannot hide.
Sweet silence, comfort me....
And there's someone on the other side.
I can hear their distant cry, gently
flowing in the wind. I'll hang my head in this
long glass tower and I'll pray one endless hour,
hoping to hear her voice again...
I'll sing the praises of the long black night,
Share the passion of the midnight flight,
with someone I'll never see.....
Faith will guide me along the way, beneath
the veil of another day, Sweet sun shine on me....
And there's someone on the other side.
I can hear their distant cry, gently
flowing in the wind. I'll hang my head in this
long glass tower, and I'll pray one endless hour,
hoping to hear her voice again...
