Lyrics for Ivory Tower

I stood upon the Ivory Tower As far as I could see The winds that grew 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
