Tower of Love

Stuck in the tower of love The tower of love You whispered in my ear, "Don't go there, don't go there" You slept a thousand years A thousand years Waited for the prince to come Don't go there, don't go there Said yourself you shouldn't be there No society Couldn't cut your way through roses Or see the wood for trees Said your love would give you nightmares Walls are closing in To see above the parapet To realize your dreams I thought you'd rise above You'd rise above You whisper in my ear, "I'll get outta there, I'll get outta there" I'll always be your friend You can count on me Trapped in a loveless bond Get outta there, get outta there Freedom shouts and freedom screams Let me run away Can't be trapped behind a screen Hear the holy say Even under doctor's orders Can't stay in your room Those four walls are closing in now Mentally will bruise When you see a crack of sunlight Run straight for the door I don't want to meet the shadow Of your former self Said your love would give you nightmares Walls are closing in To see above the parapet To realize your dreams --- Tower of Love - Erasure
