Tower of Tears

Conway Twitty · Looking Back: The Very Best of the MGM Years [RPM] [2002]

As I turn back the pages of time

And once more you're in my heart and on my mind

They're unchanged by the passing of years

All alone stands the tower of tears. (tower of tears.)



Just a wooden frame and one old rusty bell (bum, bum, bum, bum)

With a million sad stories to tell

Hidden there 'neath the rock and rill (rock and rill)

We pledges our love 'neath the tower of tears. (tower of tears.)



But as time passed on

I started losing you

And now you are gone

What am I gonna do?



Now the tower bell refuses to chime (oo, oo, oo)

'Cause somehow it knows that you're no longer mine

It shared our secret down through the years (through the years)

Now, I'm alone 'neath the tower of tears. (tower of tears...)
