Ivory tower (outtake) lyrics by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young
Verse 1
So close, then again, so far away
Where are the answers? I hear them every day
Loving at a distance, don’t make it anyway
I can’t reach her anymore
She lives in an ivory tower (ivory tower)
Enjoying her wealth and her power (wealth and her power)
Surrounded by empty dedicated people
She doesn’t know anymore
I loved her, so I gave her my soul (gave her my soul)
I didn’t have much else to give, heaven knows
She looked at it funny, what good it could do her
She doesn’t know anymore
Right on
So many times she got burned
So many lessons now, now, to be learned
A few more mistakes, you know that she could be the smartest girl
In the world, nothing more
A little bit older
(My bed) my bed a little bit colder
The treasure of our oneness became sand, and there lay naked
Before the wind was no more
Ay-ay
So close, then again, so far away
Where are the answers? I hear them every day
Loving from a distance, don’t make it anyway
Ay (ay)
