lyrics

THE TOWER OF WORKS AND DAYS

Your glance is like a whisper, your face is like a prayer
Your words are like paper airplanes floating along the air
Everbody’s going, I am going too
But what kind fate is this that I’m should go there with you?

And all the flowers stand in line
Just to sing your praise
And you’re looking so divine
Outside the tower of works and days

Whose heart is an endless fathom? Whose soul a mystic span?
Singing with every atom, the creator’s master plan?
Oh the boulevards are portals to green eternities
Where fools fall in love forever, a bit like you and me

And all the church bells chime in time
Just to sing your praise
And you’re looking so divine
Outside the tower of works and days

Of course I fell in love with you, and your manner so nonchalant
What you desire you must have, tell me what do you want?
All the suns of Araby? The perfumes of old Zion?
The painted wheels of the galaxy, Big Dipper and Orion?

And all of nature chants its rhyme
Just to sing your praise
And you’re looking so divine
Outside the tower of works and days
