[Verse 1]
Oh the Tower of Montevideo has many rooms
Some are empty [?] the sun consumes
She stands in silhouette, by the long window
Next to the caged bird under the spell of her reflection
Then she lies on the daybed and abandons the world
As the words slide off the page like clouds somewhere else

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
The waiting is nearly over in the tower of silence
And the director's on his way
To the light on the horizon of the [?]
Sailing on a ship of fools to nowhere
He says, "join me before it's too late and we drift further apart"
