Lyrics for The Tower Of Montevideo
Let's take a minute for her, ha-ha-ah The tower of Montevideo Has many rooms Some of them are empty Since I left you (since I left you) Standing in silhouette By the long window Drinking coffee and scrutinized By the black cat Who lies on the daybed and abandons the world As the hours slide off the page like clouds Somewhere else (In the tower of Montevideo) Once there was cinema And we were at parties And a light at the top of the tower Could reach Argentina (since I left you) Where they talk behind doors of distant lands And faraway places And the portrait of the architect was kept Down in the basement Of the tower of Montevideo The tower of Montevideo I can hear music I can hear footsteps Ghost of an empty room Montevideo The tower of Montevideo
