Think Tower
(Johan Bengtsson)
I’ve watched you from my tower
I’ve seen you moving around
Are you searching for a way to get up higher?
I don’t think so – what’s on your mind?
Walking the paths at random
Is there still something you haven’t found?
People like you show up here very seldom
Still astray? Are you blind?
I’m already deep into you… I think…
I’m up here – come look for me
It’s worth the struggle through the stairs
Climbing, climbing until you see
It’s a feeling that we share
Little girl, over shoulders falling
Your brown and beautiful hair
Save me from this lonely calling
And I’ll show the way out from your lair
You’re already deep into it… I think…
Snow is falling in the crystal garden
Winter comes early this year
Release me from this heavy burden
Release me from the fear
Then I won’t let you down
You’re lovely, but lost, my dear
The clicks of heels, a ringing sound
Oh, soon you’ll be up here
It has already swallowed you whole… I think…
I’m glad you came up here
To listen to my song
It’s everlasting, helps you carry fear
It’s sad, but never wrong
It’s climbing, seeking, thumbling, wild
It has gone on for so long
It’s understanding, but not always mild
I’m sitting on a stone, mah yong;
I’ve been walking alone for so long
It’s in my vanes, it’s in my blood
I’ve been struggling through life on my own
And sometimes it drives me mad
You’ve been searching for meaning so long
It’s in your heart, it’s in your soul
Now you’re tired of being alone
And so close, so close to the goal!
You are older now, but haven’t found
Come to me, I will treat you right
In this tower, we’re alone
No one can see where you’re coming from
Remember all these perfect days
Running away to another place
Young and sweet, but, oh, so weak
Two blue eyes and childish cheeks
That time is lost, but I’m still here
Waiting for you, to wipe your tears
No need to cry, no need to rest
Now we can do what we like best
You’re older now, but haven’t lost
Your gentle smile and childish thoughts
Come to me, help us feel
Free…
But it’s never gonna be like that!
And it’s all your fault!
Why did you come here?
It drives me mad!
And now you start to cry!
‘Cause it’s all your fault!
Why do you do it to me?
It drives me mad!
Just run away!
‘Cause it just won’t work!
You’re not my type!
And it drives me mad!
And it’s a long way down!
But now you start to fall!
I want to be alone!
I have to think!
And now you’re running from me… I think…
