"Tower" lyrics

You look like you need a friend
Let me in and we'll pretend
Light some candles, do not cry
I'll sing you a lullaby

You lost your key and cannot leave
I'll play with you and make believe
I'll keep you safe with all my power
I will build you a tower

In every stone I'll carve your name
Nothing will be quite the same
Laughter at the midnight hour
In our own little tower

Ashes paint our bedroom grey
These shall be our finest days
As I pledge, my precious flower
Keep you safe in a tower

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

Don't be scared, you won't be hurt
I promise that I'll keep my word
Just behave and we can play
Just do everything I say

Do not speak and do not think
I will give you everything
Everything within my power
I will bring to your tower

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

See your home on the horizon
What you were will fade away
Every day of every season
Is devoured by the gray

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home
