ivory tower lyrics

I stood upon the ivory tower
As far as I could see
The winds that blew from out of the trees
Were calling out to me

Curtains blew in the ivory tower
Willows start to bend
The ravens flew to escape the fury
As the storm descends

I followed fortune 'round the tower
Searching in vain
For through the mist 'round the old stone tower
I only found rain

And though the cold, cold ivory tower
Was stony through and through
I laid and dreamed on a featherbed
My dream was of you, my dream was of you

All time waiting
As the sun doth set in the haze
All time waiting
Every hour feels like a day, oh

I feared not in the ivory tower
Imprisonment you'll find
It lies within your heart, your soul
Your spirit and your mind

It lies within your heart, your soul
Your spirit and your mind
